Abstract

Consider a renewal insurance risk model with initial surplus u > 0 and let Au denote the deficit at the time of ruin. This paper investigates the asymptotic behavior of the moments of Au as u tends to infinity. Under the assumption that the claim size is exponentially or subexponentially distributed, we obtain some asymptotic relationships for the φ-moments of Au, where φ is a non-negative and non-decreasing function satisfying certain conditions.
