Abstract

In this article, we consider an insurance risk model where the claim and premium processes follow some time series models. We first consider the model proposed in Gerber [2,3]; then a model with dependent structure between premium and claim processes modeled by using Granger's causal model is considered. By using some martingale arguments, Lundberg-type upper bounds for the ruin probabilities under both models are obtained. Some special cases are discussed.
