In both cases, there is an awareness of the great losses resulting from the deaths, injuries and property damage caused by traffic accidents. Research is essential to counteract this public health threat, to assess the success or failure of countermeasures, and to solve the problems it generates in the insurance industry.
This book is for people concerned about road crashes (prevention and compensation) and about the insurance problems they pose - namely private and public institutional authorities, consultants, administrators, practitioners, and researchers interested in sharing the authors' experience in this domain. The book presents original contributions related to motor vehicle insurance and road safety. All papers have been evaluated by external referees. Four subjects are covered: 1) Automobile Insurance Pricing, Risks and Asymmetric Information; 2) Insurance Fraud; 3) Young Drivers: Licensing Policies, Evaluation and Risks; and 4) Road Insurance Regulation.]]> http://www.banks.ca/insurance/automobile-insurance-road-safety-new-drivers-risks-insurance-fraud-and-regulation-huebner-international-series-on-risk-insurance-and-economic-security/feed/ 0 http://www.banks.ca/insurance/actuarial-mathematics-for-life-contingent-risks/ http://www.banks.ca/insurance/actuarial-mathematics-for-life-contingent-risks/#comments Tue, 30 Apr 2013 07:56:12 +0000 http://www.banks.ca/insurance/actuarial-mathematics-for-life-contingent-risks/
How can actuaries equip themselves for the products and risk structures of the future? Using the powerful framework of multiple state models, three leaders in actuarial science give a modern perspective on life contingencies, and develop and demonstrate a theory that can be adapted to changing products and technologies. The book begins traditionally, covering actuarial models and theory, and emphasizing practical applications using computational techniques. The authors then develop a more contemporary outlook, introducing multiple state models, emerging cash flows and embedded options. Using spreadsheet-style software, the book presents large-scale, realistic examples. Over 150 exercises and solutions teach skills in simulation and projection through computational practice. Balancing rigor with intuition, and emphasizing applications, this text is ideal for university courses, but also for individuals preparing for professional actuarial exams and qualified actuaries wishing to freshen up their skills.]]> http://www.banks.ca/insurance/actuarial-mathematics-for-life-contingent-risks/feed/ 0
