Second Order Corrections for the Limits of Normalized Ruin Times in the Presence of Heavy Tails

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1287/11-SSY054

In this paper we consider a compound Poisson risk model with regularly varying claim sizes. For this model in [4] an asymptotic formula for the finite time ruin probability is provided when the time is scaled by the mean excess function. In this paper we derive the rate of convergence for this finite time ruin probability when the claims are regularly varying with a finite second moment.
