In risk theory developed to describe insurance companies [1,2,3,4,5J, the ruin probability of a company with initial reserve (capital) u is 6 1 -: -7;;f3 u 1jJ(u) = H6 e H6 (1) Here, we assume that claims arrive as a Poisson process, and the claim amount is distributed as exponential distribution with expectation liS. 6 is the loading, i.e., premium charged is (1]6) times expected claims. Financial institutions are treated as "insurance companies" the difference between interest charged and interest paid is regarded as premiums, loan defaults are treated as claims.
