Counterparty risk in reinsurance
Kohout, Marek ; Cipra, Tomáš (advisor) ; Pešta, Michal (referee)
The main goal of this Bachelor thesis is to present a survey of methods for cal- culating the required capital to cover the default risk of reinsurers in the frame- work of the regulatory system Solvency II in EU. The methods are based on so-called common shock principle which is preferred in the case of portfolios with a smaller number of heterogeneous counterparties (e. g. reinsurers). In difference from (Hendrych and Cipra, 2018) the case with flexible weights of particular reinsurers given by their LGD (loss given default) is considered. One discusses the results of extensive numerical study comparing particular methods. 1

Optimization of reinsurace parameters in insurance
Dlouhá, Veronika ; Branda, Martin (advisor) ; Cipra, Tomáš (referee)
This thesis is dedicated to searching optimal parameters of reinsurance with a focus of quota-share and stop-loss reinsurance. The optimization is based on minimization of value at risk and conditional value at risk of total costs of the insurer for the recieved risk. It also presents a compound random variable and shows various methods of obtaining its probability distribution, for example ap- proximation by lognormal or gamma mixtures distributions or by Panjer recurive method for continuous severity and numerical method of its solution. At the end of the thesis we can find the calculation of the optimal parameters of reinsurance for a compound random variable based on real data. We use various methods to determine probability distribution and premiums. 1

Application of transfer pricing methods for reinsurance
Jun, David ; Francírek, František (advisor) ; Finardi, Savina (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to make a model comparability analysis of controlled transactions within the reinsurance of insurers and to recommend appropriate transfer pricing methods based on defined assumptions. The work is divided into three parts. The first part deals with transfer pricing issues, focusing on comparability analysis and recommended transfer pricing methods according to the Transfer Pricing Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and Tax Administrations formulated by Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (Guidelines OECD). The second part describes the basic knowledge and routine practice for the area of reinsurance connected to the transfer of insurance risks. The last part combines the first two chapters, i.e. application of transfer pricing methods in the light of the comparability analysis according to the Guidelines OECD for reinsurance of insurers. The application itself is implemented through the model comparability analysis in order to recommend appropriate transfer pricing methods, i.e. in accordance with the arm's length principle.

Pekarčíková, Simona ; Hejda, Jan (advisor) ; Vlnková, Lenka (referee)
The aim of the bachelor's thesis is to provide creditors, whether legal or natural persons, with a brief overview of ways of recovering and securing receivables. The thesis consists of finding out the advantages and disadvantages of individual ways of recovering of receivables in the Czech Republic, through a concrete practical problem, which is in the thesis applied to every way of recovery. At the same time, the thesis contains a comparison of the recovery of receivables in the Slovak Republic. The summary of the thesis is through a chart, which presents the advantages and disadvantages of individual ways. The content of the conclusion is the author's recommendation and a transparent chart, which compares all ways of recovery with respect to the problem solved.

The Regulatory Arbitrage between Basel III and Solvency II: The Role of Alternative Risk Transfers Demonstrated on CDS Spreads - The Case of Italy
Budská, Petra ; Teplý, Petr (advisor) ; Buzková, Petra (referee)
Different capital regulatory requirements in the bank and insurer markets lead to finding and using of new more complex financial tools linked with capital release and subsequent optimization of the investment objectives, but they are also linked with promises and risk transfers that could cause a collapse or a systemic risk of the financial markets, as evidence by the recent financial crisis. The aim of my work is to examine the behavior of credit default swap spreads on the securitization and reinsurance markets, followed by analyzing arbitrage conditions between securitization and reinsurance markets by cointegration analysis. The thesis focuses on Italy because it is one of four main European players in the securitization market and it has highly developed bank and insurer markets. Moreover, it still faces to consequences of the recent financial crisis that is indicator of strong possible bases for above mentioned complex financial instruments. On the dataset of Top 8 Italian banks and insurer companies in the period 2006 - 2012 I showed by cointegration analysis a presence of just one cointegration relationship between securitization and reinsurance market, therefore I rejected possibility of arbitrage between these markets. But on the other hand, they converge to long term equilibrium slowly...

Oceňování zajištění škodního nadměrku v neživotním pojištění
Hrevuš, Jan ; Marek, Luboš (advisor) ; Cipra, Tomáš (referee) ; Zimmermann, Pavel (referee)
Probably the most frequently used definition of reinsurance is insurance for insurance companies, by reinsurance the cedant (insurance company) cedes part of the risk to the reinsurer. Reinsurance plays nowadays a crucial role in insurance industry as it does not only reduce the reinsured's exposure, but it can also significantly reduce the required solvency capital. In past few decades various approaches to reinsurance actuarial modelling were published and many actuaries are nowadays just reinsurance specialized. The thesis provides an overview of the actuarial aspects of modelling a non-life per risk and for motor third party liability per event excess of loss reinsurance structure, according to the author's knowledge no study of such wide scope exists and various aspects have to be found in various fragmented articles published worldwide. The thesis is based on recent industry literature describing latest trends and methodologies used, the theory is compared with the praxis as the author has working experience from underwriting at CEE reinsurer and actuarial reinsurance modelling at global reinsurance broker. The sequence of topics which are dealt corresponds to sequence of the steps taken by actuary modelling reinsurance and each step is discussed in detail. Starting with data preparation and besides loss inflation, more individual claims development methods are introduced and own probabilistic model is constructed. Further, burning cost analysis and probabilistic rating focused on heavy tailed distributions are discussed. A special attention is given to exposure rating which is not commonly known discipline among actuaries outside of reinsurance industry and different methodologies for property and casualty exposure modelling are introduced including many best practice suggestions. All main approaches to the reinsurance modelling are also illustrated on either real or realistically looking data, similar to those provided by European insurance companies to their reinsurers during renewal periods.
