Most-cited papers in British Actuarial Journal

Stochastic Claims Reserving in General Insurance

Peter D. England, Richard Verrall · 1 Aug 2002

ABSTRACT This paper considers a wide range of stochastic reserving models for use in general insurance, beginning with stochastic models which reproduce the traditional chain-ladder reserve estimates. The models are extended to consider parametric curves and smoothing models for the shape of the development run-off, which allow extrapolation for the estimation of tail factors. The…

David Blake, Andrew J. G. Cairns, Kevin Dowd · 1 Mar 2006

ABSTRACT This paper addresses the problem of longevity risk — the risk of uncertain aggregate mortality — and discusses the ways in which life assurers, annuity providers and pension plans can manage their exposure to this risk. In particular, it focuses on how they can use mortality-linked securities and over-the-counter contracts — some existing and…

More on a Stochastic Asset Model for Actuarial Use

A. D. Wilkie · 1 Dec 1995

ABSTRACT In this paper the ‘Wilkie investment model’ is discussed, updated and extended. The original model covered price inflation, share dividends, share dividend yields (and hence share prices) and long-term interest rates, and was based on data for the United Kingdom from 1919 to 1982, taken at annual intervals. The additional aspects now covered include:…

The ‘cohort effect’ in this context is the observed phenomenon that people born in the U.K. between 1925 and…

A Stochastic Model Underlying the Chain-Ladder Technique

A. E. Renshaw, Richard Verrall · 1 Oct 1998

ABSTRACT This paper presents a statistical model underlying the chain-ladder technique. This is related to other statistical approaches to the chain-ladder technique which have been presented previously. The statistical model is cast in the form of a generalised linear model, and a quasi-likelihood approach is used. It is shown that this enables the method to…
