We present a simple discrete-time model of a risk process in which primary claims are followed by secondary claims representing after-effects. It is shown that the resulting discrete-time process is associated. Estimates for finite and infinite horizon ruin probabilities are then obtained via a diffusion approximation that is based on the classic Functional Central Limit Theorem of Newman and Wright (1981) for sequences of associated random variables.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
