Existence and Uniqueness of Equilibrium in a Reinsurance Syndicate
Knut K. Aase ()
Abstract: In this paper we consider a reinsurance syndicate,
assuming that Pareto optimal allocations exist. Under a continuity
assumption on preferences, we show that a competitive equilibrium exists
and is unique. Our conditions allow for risks that are not bounded, and we
show that the most standard models satisfy our set of sufficient
conditions, which are thus not too restrictive. Our approach is to
transform the analysis from an infinite dimensional to a finite dimensional
setting.
