Abstract
Pricing of catastrophe bonds leads to integrals with discontinuous and formally infinite-dimensional integrands. We investigate the suitability of Quasi-Monte Carlo methods for the numerical evaluation of these integrals and develop several variance-reduction algorithms. Furthermore, the performance of Quasi-Monte Carlo sequences for asymptotically efficient rare event simulation is examined. Various numerical illustrations are given.
