After successful completion of the course, students are able to explain insurance contracts by utility theory, sketch the ruin problem in general and the Cramer-Lundberg model in particular, derive the main integral- and integro-differential equations to calculate ruin probabilities, describe coherent measures of risk, critisize Value-at-Risk and compare risks using stochastic orders.
Random sums, random processes, martingales in risk theory. Principles of premium calculation. Ruin theory. Coherent measures of risk.
