Risk Measurement in Insurance A Guide To Risk Measurement, Capital Allocation And Related Decision Support Issues
نویسنده
چکیده
Risk measurement provides fundamental support to decision making within the insurance industry. In spite of this, the limitations of the common measures are not well appreciated and there is little nonspecialist awareness of the more powerful techniques. The published material on risk measurement is strong and has developed significantly in recent years. However, it is fragmented and is not always in a form that is accessible to many industry practitioners. Also, notwithstanding the theoretical merits or otherwise of different techniques, many practical attempts to measure risk can be compromised by inappropriate use and interpretation. This paper aims to give an accessible overview of the full range of risk measurement and allocation techniques, critiquing both technical properties and practical considerations. A simple example is used throughout the paper to help illustrate the various measures and methods, with values being calculated using stochastic simulation.

This paper focuses on two main issues that are based on two important concepts: exponential Levy process and minimal entropy martingale measure. First, we intend to obtain risk measurement such as value-at-risk (VaR) and conditional value-at-risk (CvaR) using Monte-Carlo methodunder minimal entropy martingale measure (MEMM) for exponential Levy process. This Martingale measure is used for the...

This study uses property/liability insurance industry as research sample to examine how risk management, financial management, and capital management are related to each another, thereby reflecting such interactions in the managerial decisions in the choice of derivative and reinsurance use, in the allocation of asset risks, in the determination of underwriting activities as well as liability r...
متن کاملUsing MODEA and MODM with Different Risk Measures for Portfolio Optimization
The purpose of this study is to develop portfolio optimization and assets allocation using our proposed models. The study is based on a non-parametric efficiency analysis tool, namely Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Conventional DEA models assume non-negative data for inputs and outputs. However, many of these data take the negative value, therefore we propose the MeanSharp-βRisk (MShβR) model...
