Description: This abstract describes a paper that proposes a method to measure basis risk of extreme mortality CAT bonds.

Description: This paper studies the tail probability of discounted aggregate claims in a continuous-time renewal model. For the case that the common claim-size distribution is subexponential, the authors obtain an asymptotic formula, which holds uniformly for all time horizons within a finite interval. Then, with some additional mild assumptions on the distributions of the claim sizes and inter-arrival times, the authors further prove that this formula holds uniformly for all time horizons.
