Ramírez Corzo Sumario: When analyzing catastrophic risk, traditional measures for evaluating risk, such as the probalbe maximum loss (PML), value at risk (VaR), tail-VaR, and others, can become practically impossible to obtain analytically in certain types of insurance, such as earthquake, and certain types of reinsurance arrangements, specially non-proportional with reinstatements.
