Description: This abstract describes a paper that studies Gerber-Shiu functions and dividend payments in an insurance risk model driven by a spectrally negative Levy process of bounded variation.

Description: We demonstrate an integrated enterprise risk management (ERM) solution to optimize the risk portfolio, identify natural hedges, create an optimal risk treatment plan, enhance risk culture, and facilitate risk reporting throughout the organization.

Description: This paper provides a description of a system using statistical spatial methods for measuring, analysis, and managing ERM losses. An example of its application to a delinquency rate in a residential mortgage portfolio analysis demonstrates how this methodology can help decrease a company’s exposure in high-risk areas and increase exposure in low-risk areas.

Description: This abstract describes a paper that deals with linear pricing rules and risk measures and introduces two kinds of compatibility between prices and risks.

Description: This abstract describes a paper that proposes the use of the Co Conditional Tail Expectation 'CoCTE' to measure systemic risk and endogenizes the pro-cyclicality of capital requirements.

Description: Abstract: This paper examines the potential impact of increasing negative commentary by social media users in multiple forums, which can erode the “reputation capital” of a utility. It also offers an approach for successfully addressing that risk and integrating social media risk management practices into existing utility enterprise risk management (ERM) programs.

Description: This is the abstract of the paper A Space Marching Finite Difference Algorithm for Valuing American. In this paper, the author considers the problem of valuating American options written on assets that pay continuous dividends with unknown optimal exercise boundary. The numerical solution of the associated free boundary value problem is investigated. This research has been partialy supported by the actuarial faculty fund at the Ohio State University.

Description: This abstract describes a paper that studies the optimal reinsurance problem when risk is measured by a general risk measure. It is demonstrated that there is a “stable optimal retention” that will show no sensitivity, insofar as it will solve the optimal reinsurance problem for many risk measures, thus providing a very robust reinsurance plan.

Description: This abstract describes a paper that supplements actuarial literature in which probability distributions have been proposed, by adding the log-folded-normal and log-folded-t families.

Description: Abstract: An introduction to the Goals-Progress-Strategy (GPS) strategic risk management framework: an original synthesis of scenario based ERM, the Logical Framework Approach, and new metrics and methods. GPS improves strategic planning and execution and enables practical management of the risks a company faces in pursuit of its business goals. The framework provides a portfolio view of a company’s strategic objectives, a return on risk-adjusted capital measure, risk-intelligent decision making, and risk-adjusted performance measurement/compensation.
