The prevalence of rare events accompanied by disastrous
economic and social consequences, the so-called Black-Swan events, makes
today's world far different from just decades ago. In this talk, I shall
address the issue of modeling the wealth process of an insurer in a
stochastic economic environment with dependent insurance and financial
risks. The asymptotic behavior of the finite-time ruin probability will
be studied. As an application, I shall discuss a portfolio optimization
problem. This talk is based on recent joint works with Raluca Vernic and
Zhongyi Yuan.
