Using Laplace transforms and the notion of a pseudo compound Poisson distribution, some risk theoretical results are revisited A well-known theorem by Feller (1968) and Van Harn (1978) on infinitely divisible distributions is generalized. The result may be used for the efficient evaluation of convolutions for some distributions.

Over the past two decades, several pricing models that integrate underwriting and investment performance have been proposed or used to determine property-liability insurance rates. In general, these models have been test separately and only over a relatively limited time horizon.

This paper investigates potential problems of the Black-Scholes model (particularly its constant variance assumption). This paper shoes that more accurate price forecasts are obtained with a specific form of the constant elasticity of variance model.

Many excess-of-loss reinsurance contracts contain non-proportional coinsurance clauses, where the ceding company is to pay a non-proportional share of losses without receiving a commensurate share of the reinsurance premium. Such clauses include aggregate deductibles, loss ratio caps or limited reinstatements, and loss corridor provisions.

According to the Statement Of Principles Regarding Property And Casualty Insurance Ratemaking, consideration must be given to the impact catastrophes have on loss experience and procedures must be developed to include an allowance for the catastrophe exposure in the insurance rate. This paper offers an innovative approach to recognize Homeowners catastrophes potential.

Average absolute (instead of quadratic) deviation from median (instead of expectation) is better suited to determine the safety loading for insurance premiums than standard deviation: The corresponding premium functionals behave additive under the practically relevant risk sharing schemes between first insurer and reinsurer.
Keywords: Premium principles; distorted probabilities.

An IBNYR event is one that occurs randomly during some fixed exposure interval and incurs a random delay before it is reported. A previous paper developed a continuous-time model of the IBNYR process in which both the Poisson rate at which events occur and the parameters of the delay distribution are unknown random quantities; a full-distributional Bayesian method was then developed to predict the number of unreported events.

How can the analysis of persistency patterns aid policy pricing and afford a competitive advantage to the discerning insurer? When setting rates to optimize long-term income, one should search for policyholders who are price conscious now, who will remain loyal to their insurance carrier, and who will turn profitable in the future. The carrier should offer premium discounts to attract these risks, and then reap the profits later.

This paper describes the underlying assumptions and statistical evaluations used to develop the Revised Workers' Compensation Experience Rating Plan. This revision is being filed in all jurisdictions in which NCCI administers the Plan. In addition, it has been recommended to the independent jurisdictions. The foremost characteristic of the new plan is that it was thoroughly and objectively tested to see that its performance was optimal.

This article, based on a result of Borch and an extension of Bohlmann, gives a complete characterization of Pareto optimal risk exchanges by a system of differential equations linking the derivate of agents contributions to their risk aversion coefficients. Keywords: Pareto optimal risk exchange; Bernoulli utility function, absolute risk aversion, system of differential equations.

Several years ago, the retrospective rating plan premium formula was modified with the intention of eliminating "overlap" between its insurance charge and excess loss premium components. Under the modified formula, the excess loss premium is reduced via subtraction of an Excess Loss Adjustment Amount (ELAA).

In this paper many relations and equations relating pure premium or expected value quantities are presented in terms of random variables. This is made possible by the use of the indicator function so that awkward representations of functions of loss are simplified. Relations and formulas on such topics as basic limits losses, excess of loss coverages and retrospective rating are presented in stronger, more primitive forms.

This paper describes a method that can aid the underwriter in pricing the multiple-claimant occurrence exposure for workers compensation excess of loss reinsurance contracts. First, the current practices are described, and the necessary considerations for selecting a method are discussed.
1990
Several important practical problems and techniques which are familiar to both actuaries and underwriters are discussed informally and then analyzed mathematically. The main subjects are the degree to which profitability can be improved by estimating the expected losses of risks more accurately, and the usefulness of various methods of improving accuracy.
