Bonus-malus Scales Using Exponential Loss Functions
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper focuses on techniques for constructing Bonus-Malus systems in third party liability automobile insurance. Specifically, the article presents a practical method for constructing optimal Bonus-Malus scales with reasonable penalties that can be commercially implemented. For this purpose, the symmetry between the overcharges and the undercharges reflected in the usual quadratic loss function is broken through the introduction of parametric asymmetric loss functions of exponential type. The resulting system possesses the desirable financial stability property.

Exponential Bonus-malus Systems Integrating a Priori Risk Classification
This paper examines an integrated ratemaking scheme including a priori risk classification and a posteriori experience rating. In order to avoid the high penalties implied by the quadratic loss function, the symmetry between the overcharges and the undercharges is broken by introducing parametric loss functions of exponential type.
متن کاملRailway bonus and aircraft malus for different directions of the sound source?
Even for same LAeq, noise immissions from different types of traffic noise elicit not always the same loudness and annoyance. Frequently, railway noise is perceived as less annoying than road traffic noise (railway bonus), whereas aircraft noise can be perceived as more annoying than road traffic noise (aircraft malus). As one possible reason for the aircraft malus in addition to differences in...
متن کاملInsurance as a Giffen Good under a Bonus-Malus System and its Effect on Adverse Selection
A bonus-malus system (BMS) serves not only as a fair rating system but also as a mechanism to avoid adverse selection by developing an applied premium based on the claim experience of a policy. This paper analyzes how a BMS could work for these two concepts: achieving fairness among policies and mitigating adverse selection. The purpose is to understand how the transition rules, the number of c...
متن کاملOptimal Claiming Strategies in Bonus Malus Systems and Implied Markov Chains
In this paper, we investigate the impact of the claim reporting strategy of drivers, within a bonus malus system. We exhibit the induced modification of the corresponding class level transition matrix and derive the optimal reporting strategy for rational drivers. The hunger for bonuses induces optimal thresholds under which, drivers do not claim their losses. A numerical algorithm is provided ...
متن کاملGeneralized Bonus-malus Systems with a Frequency and a Severity Component on an Individual Basis in Automobile Insurance* By
Dionne and Vanasse (1989, 1992) have presented a bonus-malus systems (BMS) that integrates risk classification and experience rating based on the number of claims of each policyholder. This BMS is derived as a function of the years that the policyholder is in the portfolio, of the number of accidents and of the significant – for the number of accidents – individual characteristics. Frangos and ...
