Título: Estimating outstanding claim liabilities : the role of unobserved risk factors / Laura Spierdijk, Ruud H. KoningAutor: Spierdijk, Laura
Notas: Sumario: This article proposes a new method for estimating claim liabilities. Our approach is based on the observation from contract theory that there is information asymmetry between the insurer and the policyholder about the risks incurred by the latter. We show that unobserved heterogeneity allows for a form of experience learning that can reduce this asymmetry, which makes it easier for the insurer to distinguish between high-risk and low-risk claimants. We evaluate our approach in the context of disability insurance for self-employed and show that it results in more accurate best estimates of outstanding claim liabilities.Registros relacionados: En: The Journal of risk and insurance. - Nueva York : The American Risk and Insurance Association, 1964- = ISSN 0022-4367. - 01/12/2014 Volumen 81 Número 4 - diciembre 2014 , p. 803-830Materia / lugar / evento: Gerencia de riesgos Mercado de seguros Responsabilidad por riesgo creado Factores de riesgo Estimación Reclamaciones Información asimétrica Seguro de invalidez Trabajadores autónomos Otros autores: Koning, Ruud H.
