Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A risk process with premiums depending on the current reserve is considered. A large deviation approach is used to obtain upper and lower bounds for the corresponding ruin probabilities. They are expressed in terms of the entropy function of the claims distribution.
