A recent result by Panjer provides a recursive algorithm for the compound distribution of aggregate claims when the counting law belongs to a special recursive family. In the present paper we first give a characterization of this recursive family, then describe some generalizations of Panjer's result.

AbstractWe consider three classes of bivariate counting distributions and the corresponding compound distributions. For each class we derive a recursive algorithm for calculating the bivariate compound distribution.

AbstractThe paper gives some asymptotic results for the compound distribution of aggregate claims when the claim number distribution is negative binomial. The case when the claim numbers are geometrically distributed, is treated separately.

AbstractWe consider compound distributions where the counting distribution has the property that the ratio between successive probabilities may be written as the ratio of two polynomials. We derive a recursive algorithm for the compound distribution, which is more efficient than the one suggested by Panjer & Willmot (1982) and Willmot & Panjer (1987). We also derive a recursive algorithm for the moments of the compound distribution. Finally, we present an application of the recursion to the problem of calculating the probability of ruin in a particular mixed Poisson process.

AbstractWe give a new method of proof for a result of D. Pierre-Loti-Viaud and P. Boulongne which can be seen as a generalization of a characterization of Poisson law due to Rényi and Srivastava. We also provide explicit formulas, in terms of Bell polynomials, for the moments of the compound distributions occurring in the extended collective model in non-life insurance.

AbstractIn the present paper we extend a recursive algorithm developed by Vernic (1999) for compound distributions with bivariate counting distribution and univariate severity distributions to more general multivariate counting distributions.

AbstractIn this paper we study some bivariate counting distributions that are obtained by the trivariate reduction method. We work with Poisson compound distributions and we use their good properties in order to derive recursive algorithms for the bivariate distribution and bivariate aggregate claims distribution. A data set is also fitted.

We extend the representation theory of the autoregressive model in the fractional lag operator of Johansen (2008, Econometric Theory 24, 651–676). A recursive algorithm for the characterization of cofractional relations and the corresponding adjustment coefficients is given, and it is shown under which condition the solution of the model is fractional of order d and displays cofractional relations of order d − b and polynomial cofractional relations of order d − 2b,…, d − cb ≥ 0 for integer c; the cofractional relations and the corresponding moving average representation are characterized in terms of the autoregressive coefficients by the same algorithm. For c = 1 and c = 2 we find the results of Johansen (2008).

One of the central problems in risk theory is the calculation of the distribution function F of aggregate claims of a portfolio. Whereas formerly mainly approximation methods could be used, nowadays the increased speed of the computers allows application of iterative methods of numerical mathematics (see Bertram (1981), Küpper (1971) and Strauss (1976)). Nevertheless some of the classical approximation methods are still of some interest, especially a method developed by Esscher (1932).The idea of this so called Esscher-approximation (see Esscher (1932), Grandell and Widaeus (1969) and Gerber (1980)) is rather simple:In order to calculate 1 –F(x) for large x one transforms F into a distribution function such that the mean value of is equal to x and applies the Edgeworth expansion to the density of The reason for applying the transformation is the fact that the Edgeworth expansion produces good results for x near the mean value, but poor results in the tail (compare also Daniels (1954)).
