First, the method of determining SCRs in Solvency II is briefly characterised, the role of dependences for the correct specification of the diversification effect is presented, and a diversification ratio is defined. This is followed by an analysis of the use of this ratio of the diversification effect sensitivity to the dependence structure based on an example of life and health underwriting risk. The cases of lacking knowledge, partial knowledge (of a correlation coefficient only) and full knowledge are considered (it has been assumed that variables are independent and comonotonic). Dependence structures are modelled using copulas. The article shows that without identifying the actual dependence structure, the application of the standard formula in accordance with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/35 may lead to the incorrect estimation of the diversification effect, and it indicates (based on a simulation analysis) the size of possible errors}, title={Estimation of the diversification effect in Solvency II under dependence uncertainty}, type={artykuł}, keywords={Solvency Capital Requirements, risk aggregation, VaR bounds, diversification effect, kapitałowe wymogi wypłacalnosci, agregacja ryzyka, ograniczenia VaR, efekt dywersyfikacji}, }
