Abstract: Abstract A multirisks model is constructed that describes the evolution in discrete-time of an insurance portfolio covering several interdependent risks. The main problem under study is the determination of the probabilities of ruin over a finite horizon, for one or more risks. An underlying polynomial structure in the expression of these probabilities is exhibited. This result is then used to provide a simple recursive method for their numerical evaluation. Furthermore, it is shown qualitatively that a stronger positive-type dependence between the risks increases the non-ruin probabilities. Some illustrations enhance the efficiency, in time and precision, of the developed algorithm.
