报告摘要：Incurred but not reported (IBNR) loss reserving is a very important issue for Property &Casualty (P&C) insurers. To calculate IBNR reserve, one needs to model claim arrivals and then predict IBNR claims. However, factors such as temporal dependence among claim arrivals and environmental variation are often not incorporated in many of the current loss reserving models,which may greatly affect the accuracy of IBNR predictions.

In this talk, I will present a new model for IBNR claims that is built on the modeling framework of Norberg (1993, 1999). We model the claim arrival process together with the reporting delays follows a marked Cox process. The intensity function of the Cox process is governed by a hidden Markov chain. I will show that the proposed model is versatile in modeling temporal dependence, can incorporate exposure fluctuation, and can be interpreted naturally in the insurance context. The associated reported claim process and IBNR claim process remain to be a marked Cox process with easily convertible intensity function and marking distribution. The specfic structure of the intensity function allows for generating discretely observed claim processes, which is critical for data fitting purposes. I will present a generalized expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm to the model to data and to estimate the model parameters. The proposed model is then examined through simulation studies and is applied to a real insurance claim data set. This is joint work with Andrei Badescu and Dameng Tang.
