9 Projected Gap xposure measure Incomplete data Outlook Questions How to close the gap? Munich-Chain-Ladder tries to deal with the systematic gap of Chain-Ladder-projections, but still leads to different estimates for payments and reported amounts.
10 Projected Gap xposure measure Incomplete data Outlook Questions How to close the gap? Munich-Chain-Ladder tries to deal with the systematic gap of Chain-Ladder-projections, but still leads to different estimates for payments and reported amounts. Weighting of ultimates like in Bornhuetter-Ferguson or Cape Cod (or using credibility theory). We often use L P U P + L A U A L P + L A, where U P and U A are the projected ultimates based on payments and reported amounts, respectively, and L P and L A are the corresponding lag factors or their reciprocal values, depending on which are smaller.

17 Projected Gap xposure measure Incomplete data Outlook Questions What is the correct exposure for the payments of the next development year? Mack s model of the Chain-Ladder-Method assumes that [S i,k+1 C k ] = (f k 1) C i,k. Therefore, if you believe in Chain-Ladder you have to believe in the cumulative payments as exposure measure for the payments of the next development year.
18 Projected Gap xposure measure Incomplete data Outlook Questions What is the correct exposure for the payments of the next development year? Mack s model of the Chain-Ladder-Method assumes that [S i,k+1 C k ] = (f k 1) C i,k. Therefore, if you believe in Chain-Ladder you have to believe in the cumulative payments as exposure measure for the payments of the next development year. Additive method (Complementary Loss Ratio Method) assume that [S i,k+1 C k ] = q k P i, where P i is an external given risk measure for accident year i, for instance the risk premium. Therefore, if you believe in this method you have to believe that the risk measure P i is the correct one.
19 Projected Gap xposure measure Incomplete data Outlook Questions Assumptions for the presented method We assume that [S i,k+1 k ] = α k R i,k and [T i,k+1 k ] = β k R i,k, for some constants α k and β k.
20 Projected Gap xposure measure Incomplete data Outlook Questions Assumptions for the presented method We assume that [S i,k+1 k ] = α k R i,k and [T i,k+1 k ] = β k R i,k, for some constants α k and β k. This means, that we take the opening case reserves R i,k as exposure measure for the development during the year.

This means, that we take the opening case reserves R i,k as exposure measure for the development during the year. It follows that the case reserves meet a Chain-Ladder like assumption: [R i,k+1 k ] = f k R i,k, where f k = 1 α k + β k.

It follows that the case reserves meet a Chain-Ladder like assumption: [R i,k+1 k ] = f k R i,k, where f k = 1 α k + β k. All accident years are independent.

Two estimators for the (conditional) mean squared error of the estimated reserves. One depends more on the payments and the other more on the reported amounts.

For instance, in cases with a huge impact by late reported or reopened claims. No statement about the quality of the estimator of the reserves. We only know that it is conditionally mean preserving.

40 Projected Gap xposure measure Incomplete data Outlook Questions Outlook There is a paper in preparation (M. Merz, M. Wüthrich and R. D.) that gives an estimator for the one year solvency risk. A model based on assumptions on the joint distribution of payments and reported amounts which leads to the same estimators as in the presented model would be convenient. Such a model may give us a better understanding of the method itself and may lead to further stochastic statements about the distribution of the estimated reserves.
