Abstract

We develop a new approach to ruin theory for a multi-line insurance business when the risk processes for correlated insurance policies are described by a multivariate diffusion process. A relation between the probability distribution of a hitting time in a multivariate diffusion framework and the solution of a multivariate partial differential equation is obtained. Explicit solutions are then derived for some special cases.
