Smoothed Npml Estimation of the Risk Distribution Underlying Bonus-malus Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mixed Poisson distributions are widely used for modeling claim counts when the portfolio is thought to be heterogeneous. The risk (or mixing) distribution then represents a measure of this heterogeneity. The aim of this paper is to use a variant of the Patilea and Rolin [15] smoothed version of the Simar [20] Non-Parametric Maximum Likelihood Estimator of the risk distribution in the mixed Poisson model. Empirical results based on two data sets from automobile third-party liability insurance demonstrate the relevance of this approach. The design of merit-rating schemes is discussed in the second part of the paper.

Railway 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 کاملBonus-malus Scales Using Exponential Loss Functions
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 func...
متن کاملExponential 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 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 ...
