#### Gaussian Risk Models with Financial Constraints

###### Lanpeng Ji (University of Applied Sciences of Western Switzerland)

Abstract: In classical risk theory, the surplus process of an insurance company is modeled by the compound Poisson or the general compound renewal risk process. For both applied and theoretical investigations, calculation of the ruin probabilities for such models is of particular interest. In order to avoid technical issues and to allow for dependence among the claim sizes, these risk models are often approximated by the classical Brownian motion (or diffusion) (e.g., [1,2]) or the fractional Brownian motion risk model (e.g., [3,4]). Calculation of ruin probabilities and other ruin related quantities for Brownian motion and more general Gaussian risk models has been the subject of study of numerous contributions (e.g., [4-7]). This talk focuses on the most recent findings for Gaussian risk models with financial constraints such as inflation, interest and tax. In particular, three Gaussian risk models and their ruin probabilities will be discussed in detail. Finally, some future research directions on this topic will also be discussed.
