Co‑opetition in Reinsurance Markets: When Pareto Meets Stackelberg and Nash

This paper introduces "co-opetition" (combining competition and cooperation) to reinsurance risk-sharing. A two-layer game-theoretic framework models insurer-reinsurer contracting and price competition (Stackelberg-Nash), followed by collaborative risk-sharing. The model, using mean-variance preferences, yields explicit equilibrium results, demonstrating the feasibility of analyzing complex reinsurance market dynamics. Future research could explore different preferences, premium principles, and market structures.
