Non-life pricing using GLMs

Details

The workshop focuses on the practical aspects of P&C pricing. First, the pricing cycle for Non-Life insurance will be explained in detail:

a)    Data preparation

b)    Risk modelling

1. Generalized Linear Models
2. Alternative Techniques

c)    Callibration of premium: from net risk premium to gross risk premium

d)    Considerations when setting commercial premiums

Special attention will be given to the increasing role of the actuary in setting of commercial premiums (phase d):

• Traditionally the actuary has limited influence on commercial adaptations, risking that a tariff turns unprofitable
• Commercial adjustments are more and more data driven:
  • Market data are used to optimize tariffs
  • Prices are individualized in function of the client value

Examples will be made in Excel or R, so participants can actively contribute. Possibly examples from commercial pricing softwares will be shown too.
