Book Description
Ce livre est consacré à la modélisation et à l'évaluation quantitative des risques en actuariat sur une période. Après un bref rappel des notions en théorie des probabilités, l’auteur présente les modèles de base en actuariat permettant de décrire le comportement des risques en assurance. La mutualisation et les méthodes d’agrégation de risques indépendants sont passées en revue tout comme les notions de base de simulation stochastique et les applications pour l'évaluation quantitative des risques. Une brève introduction aux ordres stochastiques univariés, utilisés pour comparer et expliquer qualitativement le comportement des coûts d'un risque ou d'un portefeuille de risques complète utilement cette première partie. Deux chapitres sont consacrés à la modélisation de la dépendance, offrant une revue des résultats récents portant sur les lois multivariées, les lois composées multivariées, les copules, les méthodes d’agrégation de risques dépendants et l’analyse de l’impact de la dépendance. Dans le dernier chapitre enfin, les auteurs présentent une introduction aux règles d'allocation de capital qui servent à déterminer la part allouée à chaque risque du portefeuille. En raison de l'évolution récente de la science actuarielle, les outils développés dans ce livre peuvent également être appliqués dans le cadre de la gestion des risques pour les institutions financières (Quantative Risk Management) ou les entreprises en général (Entreprise Risk Management). Un soin particulier a été apporté à la mise en pratique des notions traitées dans cet ouvrage, par le biais d'exemples et d'exercices dont les résultats sont obtenus à l'aide d'un outil informatique. L'ouvrage est destiné à une large audience (étudiants, professionnels et académiques) et seule une connaissance de base en probabilités est requise. Son contenu a été enseigné et testé auprès de plus de mille cinq cents étudiants dans le cadre de cours, allant de la 1re année de License au Master, dispensés à l'École d'actuariat (Université Laval, Québec, Canada), l'Institut des sciences financières et actuarielles (Université Claude-Bernard, Lyon, France), l'Institut des sciences actuarielles (UCL, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgique) et l'Institut national de statistique et d’économie appliquée (INSEA, Rabat, Maroc).

Life Insurance Mathematics
Author: Hans U. Gerber
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3662026554
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 137
Book Description
HaIley's Comet has been prominently displayed in many newspapers during the last few months. For the first time in 76 years it appeared this winter, clearly visible against the nocturnal sky. This is an appropriate occasion to point out the fact that Sir Edmund Halley also constructed the world's first life table in 1693, thus creating the scientific foundation of life insurance. Halley's life table and its successors were viewed as deterministic laws, i. e. the number of deaths in any given group and year was considered to be a weIl defined number that could be calculated by means of a life table. However, in reality this number is random. Thus any mathematical treatment of life insurance will have to rely more and more on prob ability theory. By sponsoring this monograph the Swiss Association of Actuaries wishes to support the "modern" probabilistic view oflife contingencies. We are fortu nate that Professor Gerber, an internationally renowned expert, has assumed the task of writing the monograph. We thank the Springer-Verlag and hope that this monograph will be the first in a successful series of actuarial texts. Hans Bühlmann Zürich, March 1986 President Swiss Association of Actuaries Preface Two major developments have influenced the environment of actuarial math ematics. One is the arrival of powerful and affordable computers; the once important problem of numerical calculation has become almost trivial in many instances.

Measuring and Managing Operational Risk
Author: Paola Leone
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319694103
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
This book covers Operational Risk Management (ORM), in the current context, and its new role in the risk management field. The concept of operational risk is subject to a wide discussion also in the field of ORM’s literature, which has increased throughout the years. By analyzing different methodologies that try to integrate qualitative and quantitative data or different measurement approaches, the authors explore the methodological framework, the assumptions, statistical tool, and the main results of an operational risk model projected by intermediaries. A guide for academics and students, the book also discusses the avenue of mitigation acts, suggested by the main results of the methodologies applied. The book will appeal to students, academics, and financial supervisory and regulatory authorities.

Risk Classification in Life Insurance
Author: J. David Cummins
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401729115
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 345
Book Description
The research project leading to this book was initiated in the fall of 1979 when the American Council of Life Insurance (ACLI) contacted Dan McGill, chairman of the Wharton School Insurance Department, about conducting a study on risk classification in life insurance. The ACLI was concerned about legislative and judicial activity in this area and its potential effects on the life insurance industry. A meeting was held at the ACLI offices in Washington, D.C., between several members of the ACLI staff and Dan McGill and David Cummins representing the Wharton School insurance department. An agreement was reached that a study would be conducted at Wharton dealing with issues in risk classification. Although the staff of the ACLI suggested directions the study might take, it was agreed that the design and execution of the study would be solely under the control of the researchers. The researchers also retained unrestricted publication rights in the results of the study. This agreement has been honored by the ACLI during the course of the project.

Effective Actuarial Methods
Author: M. J. Goovaerts
Publisher: North Holland
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
During the last two decades actuarial research has developed in a more applied direction. Although the original risk models generally served as convenient and sometimes tractable mathematical examples of general probabilistic and/or statistical theories, nowadays models and techniques are encountered that can be considered to be typically actuarial. Examples include ordering of risks by dangerousness, credibility theory and techniques based on IBNR models. Not only does this book present the underlying mathematics of these subjects, but it also deals with the practical application of the techniques. In order to provide results based on real insurance portfolios, use is made of three software packages, namely SLIC performing stop-loss insurance calculations for individual and collective risk models, CRAC dealing with actuarial applications of credibility theory, and LORE giving IBNR-based estimates for loss reserves. Worked-out examples illustrate the theoretical results. This book is intended for use in preparing university actuarial exams, and contains many exercises with varying levels of complexity. It is valuable as a textbook for students in actuarial sciences during their last year of study. Due to the emphasis on applications and because of the worked-out examples on real portfolio data, it is also useful for practising actuaries to guide them in interpreting their own results.
