"The Gerber-Shiu function provides a unified framework for the evaluation of a variety of risk quantities. Ever since its establishment, it has attracted constantly increasing interests in actuarial science, whereas the conventional research has been focused on finding analytical or semi-analytical solutions, either of which is rarely available, except for limited classes of penalty functions on rather simple risk models."
"Using a sample of bank holding companies over the period 2015Q1 through 2020Q1, we find that risk exposure increases for the large banks that benefitted from the removal of certain regulatory provisions. These banks also benefit from higher profitability and reduced compliance costs."
" Through this analysis we are able to address the question that, to the best of our knowledge, no other study has investigated in the context of cyber risk: is model risk present in cyber risk data, and how does is it translate into premium mispricing?"
"... we develop a granular occurrence and development model for non-life claims that allows to resolve the inconsistency in traditional pricing techniques between actual, complete observations on the one hand and best estimates on the other hand. We illustrate our proposed model on a reinsurance portfolio, where large uncertainties in the best estimates originate from long reporting and settlement delays, low claim frequencies and heavy (even extreme) claim sizes."
"We study insurers' behavior under monopoly and Cournot duopoly when they can affect the probability or magnitude of harm from accidents."
"Stackelberg game. The reinsurer is the leader in the game and maximizes its expected utility by selecting its optimal investment strategy and a safety loading in the reinsurance contract it offers to the insurer. The reinsurer can assess how the insurer will rationally react on each action of the reinsurer. The insurance company is the follower and maximizes its expected utility by choosing its investment strategy and the amount of reinsurance the company purchases at the price offered by the reinsurer. "
"Traditional techniques for calculating outstanding claim liabilities such as the chain ladder are notoriously at risk of being distorted by outliers in past claims data. Unfortunately, the literature in robust methods of reserving is scant, with notable exceptions … we put forward two alternative robust bivariate chain-ladder techniques to extend the approach of Verdonck and Van Wouwe (2011)."
"Sustainable insurance is aimed primarily at developing innovative or green products and services, reducing risk, improving company efficiency, and supporting environmental, social, and financial sustainability."
"The sensitivity measures are illustrated using numerous examples, including the Ishigami--Homma test function and applications to a non-linear insurance portfolio."
"The growing sophistication of insurance pricing, particularly for property-casualty insurance and reinsurance risk, has created a proliferation of approaches used in practice. Even within firms, pricing methodologies can vary from line to line, ranging from simplistic expected loss ratio targets to sophisticated return on capital models and even more sophisticated probability transform methods."
