2007 ASTIN Colloquium Paper Presentations

Over 40 papers, authored by both practitioners and academics, will be presented at the 37th ASTIN Colloquium. Paper topics cover risk management, reserving, and pricing. Pricing issues include applications of credibility, bonus-malus systems, and risk margins, such as those from jump diffusion processes. Several new directions for stochastic modeling of loss reserves are explored. About half the papers concern risk management, subcategories of which include:

  • Issues involved in strategic and operational risk;
  • Applications of risk modeling, such as insolvency risk, reinsurance, capital needs and allocation, market analysis, and strategic planning of subsidiaries;
  • Model building topics, like choice of risk measures, modeling of dependencies, and efficient calculation.

Authors from North America, Australia, and Europe are well represented, but authors from Asian locations such as Beijing, Shanghai, Taiwan, Indonesia, Israel, and Iran are also prominent in this year’s list of authors.
