On the Evaluation of Finite-Time Ruin Probabilities in a Dependent Risk Model

This paper establishes some enlightening connections between the explicit formulas of the finite-time ruin probability obtained by Ignatovand Kaishev (2000, 2004) and Ignatov et?al. (2001) for a risk model allowing dependence. The numerical properties of these formulas are investigated and efficient algorithms for computing ruin probability with prescribed accuracy are presented. Extensive numerical comparisons and examples are provided.
