Collective Theory of Risk and Utility Functions

Abstract
In a series of studies K. Borch has considered the problem of introducing a utility function into actuarial theory. His work refers mainly to inquiries about the situation during a financial year of an insurance company. By means of the claim distribution for the risks insured during an insurance year the best reinsurance for this insurance year is obtained, the best reinsurance being considered that one which provides the greatest utility.
