Premium Based on Mixture Utility
نویسنده
چکیده
Aggregation functions and utility functions belong to very interesting parts of modern decision making theory. We develop basic concept of the connection of aggregation functions theory and utility theory to determine gross annual premium in general insurance. We introduce specific values of the gross annual premium on the basis of aggregation of the person’s utility functions which were determined empirically based on a short personal interview. Moreover, by specific utility function we determine minimal gross annual premium acceptable for the insurer.

Calibration of Utility Function and Mixture Premium
Calibration of the different types of utility functions of money is discussed in this paper. This calibration is based on an expected utility maximization of different alternatives of investment strategies which are offered to persons in a short questionnaire. Investigated utility functions have different Arrow-Pratt absolute and relative risk aversion coefficients. Moreover, the paper proposes...
متن کاملAggregation Functions and Personal Utility Functions in General Insurance
The modeling of a utility function’s forms is a very interesting part of modern decision making theory. We apply a basic concept of the personal utility theory on determination of minimal net and maximal gross annual premium in general insurance. We introduce specific values of gross annual premium on the basis of a personal utility function, which is determined empirically by a short personal ...
متن کاملThe Equity Premium Puzzle: Can Income Help?
In this paper we argue that implementing the income in the utility function can considerably contribute to the explanation of the equity premium puzzle. Macroeconomic data from developed and developing countries provides support to this idea. We propose a utility function that includes consumption, income and disentangles dividends as a specific form of income, and price assets using a consumpt...
متن کاملOn Bayesian Mixture Credibility
We introduce a class of Bayesian infinite mixture models first introduced by Lo (1984) to determine the credibility premium for a non-homogeneous insurance portfolio. The Bayesian infinite mixture models provide us with much flexibility in the specification of the claim distribution. We employ the sampling scheme based on a weighted Chinese restaurant process introduced in Lo et al. (1996) to e...
متن کاملDynamic Pricing of General Insurance in a Competitive Market By
A model for general insurance pricing is developed which represents a stochastic generalisation of the discrete model proposed by Taylor (1986). This model determines the insurance premium based both on the breakeven premium and the competing premiums offered by the rest of the insurance market. The optimal premium is determined using stochastic optimal control theory for two objective function...
