    Llacay Pintat, Bàrbara; Peffer, Gilbert (Publication date: 2017-07-19)

    Financial institutions around the world use value-at-risk (VaR) models to manage their market risk and calculate their capital requirements under Basel Accords. VaR models, as any other risk management system, are meant ...

    Partially Schur-constant models 

    Castañer, Anna; Claramunt Bielsa, M. Mercè; Lefèvre, Claude; Loisel, Stéphane (Publication date: 2019-05-28)

    In this paper, we introduce a new multivariate dependence model that generalizes the standard Schur-constant model. The difference is that the random vector considered is partially exchangeable, instead of exchangeable, ...

    En este trabajo se estudian tres modalidades de reaseguro basadas en el número de siniestros: Reaseguro de los siniestros más grandes. Modalidad por la cual el reasegurador se hace cargo de los siniestros más grandes. ...

    On the nucleolus of 2 x 2 assignment games 

    Martínez de Albéniz, F. Javier; Rafels, Carles; Ybern, Neus (Publication date: 2016-10-21)

    We provide explicit formulas for the nucleolus of an arbitrary assignment game with two buyers and two sellers. Five different cases are analyzed depending on the entries of the assignment matrix. We extend the results to ...

    Externalities and the (Pre)nucleolus in Cooperative Games 

    Álvarez-Mozos, Mikel; Ehlers, Lars (Publication date: 2024-02-02)

    In most economic applications of cooperative games, externalities prevail: the worth of a coalition depends on how the other players are organized. We show that there is a unique natural way of extending the prenucleolus ...

    Bosch Príncep, Manuela; Morillo, Isabel (Publication date: 2013-10-29)

    The aim of this communication is to describe the results of a pilot project for the assessment of the transversal competency "the capacity for learning and responsibility". This competency is centred on the capacity for ...

    Constrained welfare egalitarianism in surplus-sharing problems 

    Calleja, Pere; Llerena Garrés, Francesc; Sudhölter, Peter (Publication date: 2022-06-03)

    The constrained equal welfare rule, f CE , distributes the surplus according to the uniform gains method and, hence, equalizes the welfare of the agents subsequent to the allocation process, subject to making nobody worse ...

    Basis risk management and randomly scaled uncertainty 

    Claramunt Bielsa, M. Mercè; Lefèvre, Claude; Loisel, Stéphane; Montesinos, Pierre (Publication date: 2023-01-09)

    This paper proposes a method for quantifying the basis risk present in index-based insurance. It applies when the inherent uncertainty is represented by a randomly scaled variable. This turns out to be a reasonable assumption ...

    The expected value of perfect information in unrepeatable decision-making 

    Boncompte, Mercè (Publication date: 2019-03-25)

    This paper reflects on the concept of the 'Expected Value of Perfect Information' (EVPI) and the procedure used to determine it. It is widely accepted that this value is the difference between the expected value when we ...

    Life settlement pricing with fuzzy parameters 

    Andrés Sánchez, Jorge de; González-Vila Puchades, Laura (Publication date: 2024-02-15)

    Existing literature asserts that the growth of life settlement (LS) markets, where they exist, is hampered by limited policyholder participation and suggests that to foster this growth appropriate pricing of LS transactions ...

    The bargaining set for almost-convex games 

    Getán Oliván, Jesús; Izquierdo Aznar, Josep Maria; Montes, Jesús; Rafels, Carles (Publication date: 2017-02-16)

    We generalize the well-known result of the coincidence of the bargaining set and the core for convex games (Maschler et al., 1972) to the class of games named almost-convex games, that is, coalitional games where all proper ...

    A time consistent dynamic bargaining procedure in differential games with heterogeneous discounting 

    Castañer, Anna; Marín Solano, Jesús; Ribas Marí, Carme (Publication date: 2021-07-14)

    We study cooperative solutions for differential games where players consume a common property resource. Players are asymmetric, in the sense that they have different preferences and, in particular, different time preferences. ...

    Frutos Cachorro, Julia de; Willeghems, Gwen; Buysse, Jeroen (Publication date: 2020-05-22)

    In view of the current nuclear power debate in Belgium, we analyze how uncertainty about a nuclear phase-out, coupled with the implementation of renewable energy subsidies and nuclear taxes, affects investment capacity and ...

    Valuation monotonicity, fairness and stability in assignment problems 

    Van den Brink, René; Núñez, Marina (Núñez Oliva); Robles Jiménez, Francisco Javier (Publication date: 2021-07-14)

    In two-sided assignment markets with transferable utility, we first introduce two weak monotonicity properties that are compatible with stability. We show that for a fixed population, the sellers-optimal (respectively the ...

    A note on the relationship between the core and stable sets in three-sided markets 

    Atay, Ata; Núñez, Marina (Núñez Oliva) (Publication date: 2020-02-19)

    We analyze the extent to which two known results of the relationship between the core and the stable sets for two-sided assignment games can be extended to three-sided assignment games. We find that the dominant diagonal ...

    Modal Interval Probability: Application to Bonus-Malus Systems 

    Adillón, Román; Jorba, Lambert; Mármol, Maite (Publication date: 2024-02-14)

    Classical intervals have been a very useful tool to analyze uncertain and imprecise models, in spite of operative and interpretative shortcomings. The recent introduction of modal intervals helps to overcome those limitations. ...

    Population Lorenz-monotonic allocation schemes for TU-games
