Abstract

top
Prediction of outstanding liabilities is an important problem in non-life insurance. In the framework of the Solvency II Project, the best estimate must be derived by well defined probabilistic models properly calibrated on the relevant claims experience. A general model along these lines was proposed earlier by Norberg (1993, 1999), who suggested modelling claim arrivals and payment streams as a marked point process. In this paper we specify that claims occur in [0,1] according to a Poisson point process, possibly non-homogeneous, and that each claim initiates a stream of payments, which is modelled by a non-homogeneous compound Poisson process. Consecutive payment streams are i.i.d. and independent of claim arrivals. We find estimates for the total payment in an interval (v,v+s], where v≥1, based upon the total payment up to time v. An estimate for Incurred But Not Reported (IBNR) losses is also given.

In the framework of the Solvency II Project, the best estimate must be derived by well defined probabilistic models properly calibrated on the relevant claims experience.
