Ordering of risks under PH-transforms. (English) Zbl 0859.90056

Insur. Math. Econ. 18, No. 2, 109-114 (1996).
Summary: The author recently proposed a premium calculation principle based on proportional hazards (PH) transforms. It is shown that this premium principle resembles the risk-neutral valuation in financial economics, but differs from the traditional utility theory approach. The PH-transform does preserve the stop-loss order of risks which is shared by all risk-averters with increasing concave utility functions.
