Abstract: In this paper we consider the problem of determining approximations for distortion risk measures of sums of non-independent random variables. First, we give an overview of the recent actuarial literature on distortion risk measures and convex bounds for sums of random variables. Then, we examine the case of discrete risks with identical distribution. Upper and lower bounds for risk measures of sums of risks are presented in the case of concave distortion functions. The result is then extended to cover the case of non necessarily discrete risks.

Keywords: Risk measures; dependency of risks; discrete risks with identical distribution; upper and lower bounds: concave risk measures. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
