Optimal Premium as a Function of the Deductible: Customer Analysis and Portfolio Characteristics

چکیده
Abstract: An insurance company offers an insurance contract (p, K), consisting of a premium p and a deductible K. In this paper, we consider the problem of choosing the premium optimally as a function of the deductible. The insurance company is facing a market of N customers, each characterized by their personal claim frequency, α, and risk aversion, β. When a customer is offered an insurance contract, she/he will, based on these characteristics, choose whether or not to insure. The decision process of the customer is analyzed in detail. Since the customer characteristics are unknown to the company, it models them as i.i.d. random variables; A1, . . . , AN for the claim frequencies and B1, . . . , BN for the risk aversions. Depending on the distributions of Ai and Bi, expressions for the portfolio size n(p; K) ∈ [0, N] and average claim frequency α(p; K) in the portfolio are obtained. Knowing these, the company can choose the premium optimally, mainly by minimizing the ruin probability.

In risk analysis based on Bayesian framework, premium calculation requires specification of a prior distribution for the risk parameter in the heterogeneous portfolio. When the prior knowledge is vague, the E-Bayesian and robust Bayesian analysis can be used to handle the uncertainty in specifying the prior distribution by considering a class of priors instead of a single prior.
