  • Action depends on cause of failure: here reinsurer failure had been buidling prior to CalcDt
    • Failure AFTER CalcDt simply provided further evidence of conditions existing prior to CalcDt
  • If failure was due to a catstrophe, path through decision tree would be: EWDP
    • In other words, final action would be to inform only.

  • If actuary had become aware AFTER the report date, this wouldn’t be a subsequent event

Qz-1 intro:Identify REASONS for government participation in insurance (5)

FCC(ES)

  • For FILLING NEEDS unmet by private insurance (terrorism)
    • May occur when private insurance is not economically viable
    • After 9/11 terrorist attack in NYC, private market withdrew coverage
  • When insurance is COMPULSORY (BC auto)
    • If compulsory, but not offered by private market (for whatever reason) –> government must provide
  • For CONVENIENCE (flood)
    • Government may already have necessary structures in place
    • (government already provides disaster relief after floods)
  • For EFFICIENCY (auto)
    1. Agent commissions eliminated ? lower expense ratio ? lower premiums for consumer
  • For SOCIAL purposes (medical)
    • Private market is motivated by profit
    • This is sometimes at the expense of social purposes like universal medical coverage
