8 Pricing of non-life insurance contracts Tariff classes/segmentation criteria Tariff of rates based on S + 1 categorical segmentation criteria: i 0 I 0, e.g. tariff classes I 0 = {engine volume up to 1000, up to 1350, up to 1850, up to 2500, over 2500 ccm}, i 1 I 1,..., i S I S, e.g. age I 1 = {18 30, 31 65, 66 and more years} We denote I = (i 0, i 1,..., i S ), I I a tariff class, where I = I 0 I 1 I S denotes all combinations of criteria values. Let W I be the number of contracts (exposures) in I.
9 Pricing of non-life insurance contracts Compound distribution of aggregated losses Aggregated losses over one year for risk cell I L T I = W I w=1 N I,w L I,w, L I,w = X I,n,w, n=1 where all r.v. are assumed to be independent (N I, X I denote independent copies) N I,w is the random number of claims for a contract during one year with the same distribution for all w X I,n,w is the random claims severity with the same distribution for all n and w Well-known formulas for the mean and the variance: µ T I = IE[L T I ] = W I µ I = W I IE[N I ]IE[X I ], (σ T I ) 2 = var(l T I ) = W I σ 2 I = W I (IE[N I ]var(x I ) + (IE[X I ]) 2 var(n I )).
10 Pricing of non-life insurance contracts Multiplicative tariff of rates We assume that the risk (office) premium is composed in a multiplicative way from basic premium levels Pr i0 and nonnegative surcharge coefficients e i1,..., e is, i.e. we obtain the decomposition Pr I = Pr i0 (1 + e i1 ) (1 + e is ). We denote the total premium TP I = W I Pr I for the risk cell I. Example: engine volume between 1001 and 1350 ccm, age 18 30, region over inhabitants: 300 ( ) ( )
11 Pricing of non-life insurance contracts Prescribed loss ratio random constraints Our goal is to find optimal basic premium levels and surcharge coefficients with respect to a prescribed loss ratio LR, ˆ i.e. to fulfill the random constraints L T I TP I ˆ LR for all I I, (1) and/or the random constraint I I LT I I I TP I ˆ LR. (2) The prescribed loss ratio LR ˆ is usually based on a management decision. If LR ˆ = 1, we obtain the netto-premium. It is possible to prescribe a different loss ratio for each tariff cell.
12 Pricing of non-life insurance contracts Sources of risk Two sources of risk for an insurer: 1. Expectation risk: different expected losses for tariff cells. 2. Distributional risk: different shape of the probability distribution of losses, e.g. standard deviation.
13 Pricing of non-life insurance contracts Prescribed loss ratio expected value constraints Usually, the expected value of the loss ratio is bounded IE[L T I ] = IE[L I ] LR ˆ for all I I. (3) TP I Pr I The distributional risk is not taken into account.
14 Pricing of non-life insurance contracts Prescribed loss ratio chance constraints A natural requirement: the inequalities are fulfilled with a prescribed probability leading to individual chance (probabilistic) constraints ( L T ) P I LR ˆ 1 ε, for all I I, (4) TP I where ε (0, 1), usually ε {0.1, 0.05, 0.01}, or a constraint for the whole line of business: ( ) P I I LT I LR ˆ 1 ε. I I TP I Distributional risk allocation to tariff cells will be discussed later.
15 Approach based on generalized linear models Table of contents 1 Introduction 2 Pricing of non-life insurance contracts 3 Approach based on generalized linear models 4 Optimization models expected value approach 5 Optimization models individual chance constraints 6 Optimization models a collective risk constraint 7 Numerical comparison
16 Approach based on generalized linear models Generalized linear models A standard approach based on GLM with the logarithmic link function g(µ) = ln µ without the intercept: Poisson (overdispersed) or Negative-binomial regression the expected number of claims: IE[N I ] = exp{λ i0 + λ i1 + + λ is }, Gamma or Inverse Gaussian regression the expected claim severity: IE[X I ] = exp{γ i0 + γ i1 + + γ is }, where λ i, γ i are the regression coefficients for each I = (i 0, i 1,..., i S ). For the expected loss we obtain IE[L I ] = exp{λ i0 + γ i0 + λ i1 + γ i1 + + λ is + γ is }.
17 Approach based on generalized linear models Generalized linear models The basic premium levels and the surcharge coefficients can be estimated as a product of normalized coefficients Pr i0 = exp{λ i 0 + γ i0 } ˆ LR e is = S min exp(λ i ) i I s s=1 S min exp(γ i ), i I s s=1 exp(λ is ) min is Is exp(λ is ) exp(γ is ) min is Is exp(γ is ) 1, Under this choice, the constraints on loss ratios are fulfilled with respect to the expectations.
18 Approach based on generalized linear models Generalized linear models The GLM approach is highly dependent on using GLM with the logarithmic link function. It can be hardly used if other link functions are used, interaction or other regressors than the segmentation criteria are considered. For the total losses modelling, we can employ generalized linear models with the logarithmic link and a Tweedie distribution for 1 < p < 2, which corresponds to the compound Poisson gamma distributions.
19 Optimization models expected value approach Table of contents 1 Introduction 2 Pricing of non-life insurance contracts 3 Approach based on generalized linear models 4 Optimization models expected value approach 5 Optimization models individual chance constraints 6 Optimization models a collective risk constraint 7 Numerical comparison
20 Optimization models expected value approach Advantages of the optimization approach GLM with other than logarithmic link functions can be used, business requirements on surcharge coefficients can be ensured, total losses can be decomposed and modeled using different models, e.g. for bodily injury and property damage, other modelling techniques than GLM can be used to estimate the distribution of total losses over one year, e.g. generalized additive models, classification and regression trees, not only the expectation of total losses can be taken into account but also the shape of the distribution, costs and loadings (commissions, tax, office expenses, unanticipated losses, cost of reinsurance) can be incorporated when our goal is to optimize the combined ratio instead of the loss ratio, we obtain final office premium as the output,
21 Optimization models expected value approach Total loss decomposition We can assume that L I contains not only losses but also various costs and loadings, thus we can construct the tariff rates with respect to a prescribed combined ratio. For example, the total loss over one year can be composed as follows L I = (1 + vc I ) [ (1 + inf s )L s I + (1 + inf l)l l I ] + fci, where small L s I and large claims L l I are modeled separately, inflation of small claims inf s and large claims inf l, proportional costs vc I and fixed costs fc I are incorporated. We only need estimates of E[L T I ] and var(l T I ) for all I.
22 Optimization models expected value approach Optimization model expected value approach The premium is minimized 1 under the conditions on the prescribed loss ratio and a maximal possible surcharge (r max ): min Pr,e w I Pr i0 (1 + e i1 ) (1 + e is ) I I s.t. ˆ LR Pri0 (1 + e i1 ) (1 + e is ) IE[L i0,i 1,...,i S ], (5) (1 + e i1 ) (1 + e is ) 1 + r max, e i1,..., e is 0, (i 0, i 1,..., i S ) I. This problem is nonlinear nonconvex, thus very difficult to solve. Other constraints can be included. 1 A profitability is ensured by the constraints on the loss ratio. The optimization leads to minimal levels and surcharges.
23 Optimization models expected value approach Optimization model expected value approach Using the logarithmic transformation of the decision variables u i0 = ln(pr i0 ) and u is = ln(1 + e is ) and by setting b i0,i 1,...,i S = ln(ie[l i0,i 1,...,i S ]/ ˆ LR), the problem can be rewritten as a nonlinear convex programming problem: min w I e u i 0 +u i1 + +u is u I I s.t. u i0 + u i1 + + u is b i0,i 1,...,i S, (6) u i1 + + u is ln(1 + r max ), u i1,..., u is 0, (i 0, i 1,..., i S ) I. The problems (5) and (6) are equivalent.
24 Optimization models individual chance constraints Table of contents 1 Introduction 2 Pricing of non-life insurance contracts 3 Approach based on generalized linear models 4 Optimization models expected value approach 5 Optimization models individual chance constraints 6 Optimization models a collective risk constraint 7 Numerical comparison
25 Optimization models individual chance constraints Optimization model individual chance constraints If we prescribe a small probability level ε (0, 1) for violating the loss ratio in each tariff cell, we obtain the following chance constraints P ( L T i 0,i 1,...,i S LR ˆ ) W i0,i 1,...,i S Pr i0 (1 + e i1 ) (1 + e is ) 1 ε, which can be rewritten using the quantile function F 1 L T I of L T I as ˆ LR W i0,i 1,...,i S Pr i0 (1 + e i1 ) (1 + e is ) F 1 L T i 0,i 1,...,i S (1 ε). By setting b I = ln F 1 (1 ε) L T I, W I LR ˆ the formulation (6) can be used.
26 Optimization models individual chance constraints Optimization model individual chance constraints min u w I e u i 0 +u i1 + +u is I I s.t. u i0 + u i1 + + u is b i0,i 1,...,i S, u i1 + + u is ln(1 + r max ), u i1,..., u is 0, (i 0, i 1,..., i S ) I, with b I = ln F 1 (1 ε) L T I. W I LR ˆ
27 Optimization models individual chance constraints Optimization model individual reliability constraints It can be very difficult to compute the quantiles F 1, see, e.g., L T I Withers and Nadarajah (2011). We can employ the one-sided Chebyshev s inequality based on the mean and variance of the compound distribution: P ( L T I TP I ˆ LR ) ( LR ˆ TP I µ T I ) 2 /(σi T ) 2 ε, (7) for LR ˆ TP I µ T I. Chen et al. (2011) showed that the bound is tight for all distributions D with the expected value µ T I and the variance (σi T ) 2 : sup P ( L T I D for ˆ LR TP I µ T I. LR ˆ ) 1 TP I = 1 + ( LR ˆ TP I µ T I ) 2 /(σi T ), 2
28 Optimization models individual chance constraints Optimization model individual reliability constraints The inequality (7) leads to the following constraints, which serve as conservative approximations: 1 ε µ T I + σi T LR ˆ TP I. ε Finally, the constraints can be rewritten as reliability constraints 1 ε σ µ I + I LR ˆ Pr I. (8) ε WI If we set [( ) ] 1 ε b I = ln µ I + σ I / LR ˆ, εw I we can employ the linear programming formulation (6) for rate estimation.

31 Optimization models a collective risk constraint Optimization model a collective risk constraint In the collective risk model, a probability is prescribed for ensuring that the total losses over the whole line of business (LoB) are covered by the premium with a high probability, i.e. P ( L T I I I ) W I Pr I 1 ε. I I
32 Optimization models a collective risk constraint Optimization model a collective risk constraint Zaks et al. (2006) proposed the following program for rate estimation, where the mean square error is minimized under the reformulated collective risk constraint using the Central Limit Theorem: 1 min IE [(L T I W I Pr I ) 2] Pr I r I I I s.t. (9) W I σi 2, I I W I Pr I = I I W I µ I + z 1 ε I I where r I > 0 and z 1 ε denotes the quantile of the Normal distribution. Various premium principles can be obtained by the choice of r I (r I = 1 or r I = W I leading to semi-uniform or uniform risk allocations).
33 Optimization models a collective risk constraint Optimization model a collective risk constraint According to Zaks et al. (2006), Theorem 1, the program has a unique solution ˆPr I = µ I + z 1 ε r I σ rw I, with r = I I r I and σ 2 = I I W I σi 2. If we want to incorporate the prescribed loss ratio LR ˆ for the whole LoB into the rates, we can set [( ) ] r I σ b I = ln µ I + z 1 ε / LR rw ˆ, I within the problem (6).

36 Numerical comparison MTPL segmentation criteria We consider policies with settled claims simulated using characteristics of real MTPL portfolio. The following segmentation variables are used: tariff group: 5 categories (engine volume up to 1000, up to 1350, up to 1850, up to 2500, over 2500 ccm), age: 3 cat. (18-30, 31-65, 66 and more years), region (reg): 4 cat. (over , over , over 5 000, up to inhabitants), gender (gen): 2 cat. (men, women). Many other available indicators related to a driver (marital status, type of licence), vehicle (engine power, mileage, value), policy (duration, no claim discount).
