Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to address the following question. Should the present retrospective rating formula be modified to account for the claim severity of the risk being insured, and for the loss limit chosen for the plan? It will be shown that there are significant differences in premium adequacy that can attributed to the above mentioned factors. Alternatives to the present formula will be proposed.
