Premium Calculation by Transforming the Layer Premium Density

Shaoyu Wang · 1 May 1996

Abstract This paper examines a class of premium functionals which are (i) comonotonic additive and (ii) stochastic dominance preservative. The representation for this class is a transformation of the decumulative distribution function. It has close connections with the recent developments in economic decision theory and non-additive measure theory. Among a few elementary members of this…

Recursive Evaluation of a Family of Compound Distributions

Harry H. Panjer · 1 Jun 1981

Compound distributions such as the compound Poisson and the compound negative binomial are used extensively in the theory of risk to model the distribution of the total claims incurred in a fixed period of time. The usual method of evaluating the distribution function requires the computation of many convolutions of the conditional distribution of the…

Estimating the Tails of Loss Severity Distributions Using Extreme Value Theory

Alexander J. McNeil · 1 May 1997

Abstract Good estimates for the tails of loss severity distributions are essential for pricing or positioning high-excess loss layers in reinsurance. We describe parametric curve-fitting methods for modelling extreme historical losses. These methods revolve around the generalized Pareto distribution and are supported by extreme value theory. We summarize relevant theoretical results and provide an extensive…
