Calibration of Utility Function and Mixture Premium
نویسنده
چکیده
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 a basic concept of uncertainty modeling by the chosen utility functions for the determination of so-called maximum mixture premium in non-life insurance. This concept is based on aggregation of maximum premiums by so-called mixture function with the selected weighting function. A case study is included.

Premium Based on Mixture Utility
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 determ...
متن کاملOn Calibration and Application of Logit-Based Stochastic Traffic Assignment Models
There is a growing recognition that discrete choice models are capable of providing a more realistic picture of route choice behavior. In particular, influential factors other than travel time that are found to affect the choice of route trigger the application of random utility models in the route choice literature. This paper focuses on path-based, logit-type stochastic route choice models, i...
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 کاملBayes, E-Bayes and Robust Bayes Premium Estimation and Prediction under the Squared Log Error Loss Function
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. In th...
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...
