In paper A we describe and usethe reinsurance analyser (ReAn), an open-source software for analysis ofreinsurance contacts. Moreover, we discuss experimental results, especiallythe risk comparison of excess-of-loss and largest claims reinsurance treaties.In paper B we expand the software including a new excess-of-loss treaty withupper limit. We perform experimental studies comparing extreme value andexcess-of-loss reinsurance treaties. In paper C, we perform a more in depthpresentation of the software. We introduce new treaties as combinations ofstandard treaties. Experimental comparisons are made between these treatiesand other extreme value treaties.
