Abstract

This paper aims at showing how an ordering on claim amounts can influence finite-time ruin probabilities. Until now such a question was examined essentially for ultimate ruin probabilities. Over a finite horizon, a general approach does not seem possible but the study is conducted under different sets of conditions. This primarily covers the cases where the initial reserve is null or large.
