Q

Absolute NRP (fast)

A

Total losses/number of risks

17
Q

Average loss (relative)

A

(Loss amount (€)/no. of Losses) /(Total sum insured/number of risks)
- Fast version: Average loss absolute/Avg. sum insured

18
Q

Relative NRP

A

Relative loss % * average loss

19
Q

Relative NRP (fast)

A

Total losses/total sum insured

20
Q

What are the problems with primary differentiation

A
  • Limits to providing the influence of factors to a loss
  • Hard to decide whats factors are important
  • Factors might not be consistent
  • Can be time-consuming and expensive to find out
21
Q

What is used to calculate secondary differentiation?

A

Claim history

22
Q

How does experience rating differ from adaptation clauses?

A

Here adaptation clauses are used for inflation or other general changes

23
Q

How do you calculate a secondary differentiated premium using the pure method (absolute)

A

Sum of all losses so far/(number of periods-1)

24
Q

How do you calculate a secondary differentiated premium using the pure method (relative)

A

(Sum of losses/sum of sums insured) * sum insured

25
Modified method of secondary premium differentiation
The premium cant drop below or above a certain price
26
Credibility method of secondary premium differentiation
(1-credibility factor)*NRP+ Credibility factor * sum of individual losses
27
Effects of experience rating (2)
- Part of the Technical risk is borne by the policyholder. | - Premiums are differentiated
28
Issues with secondary premium differentiation (2)
- Only functional with high frequencies of damage | - Lacks severity
29
Problems with not individually equivalent NRP (3)
- Adverse selection - Lack of structural neutrality - Relative effects
30
Adverse selection
If you charge an average premium that subsidises bad risks then the good risks will leave causing the average premium to increase.
31
What factors in the market make adverse selection happen faster? (5)
- Easy to compare products - Similar product with few differentiating factors - No customer preferences - Fast action from customers - Rationality
32
Structural neutrality
NRP is independent form the structure of the premium - if the premium doesn't change with every risk added then the NRP will not be equal to the expectancy value
33
Relative cross border subsidy effects between policyholders
Some policyholders pay too much because they bring less risk to the pool meaning they pay too much. The good risks subsidise the bad risks
