Abstract

The seminal papers by Gerber and Shiu (1998, 2005), gave a huge boost to the study of risk theory by unifying various risk-related quantities in one single function - the Gerber-Shiu expected, discounted penalty function, or Gerber-Shiu function in short. In these papers the authors show not only how the expected discounted penalty function can be calculated but also some nice properties in the classical as well as in the Sparre Andersen risk model. However, the main, stringent, assumption of the aforementioned risk models is that the interclaim times and the claim sizes are independent, which is not an appropriate assumption so as to reflect the real insurance business precisely (e.g. catastrophic insurance). The main focus of this thesis ...
