This paper provides bonus-malus systems which rest on different types of claims. Consistent estimators are given for some moments of themixing distribution of a multi equation Poisson model with random effects. Bonus-malus coefficients are then obtained with the expected value principle, and...

This paper characterizes optimal insurance policies under deterministic auditing, in a situation where the policyholders can misrepresent their losses.

This paper aims at providing linear credibility predictors for the pure premium of insurance contracts, from a rating structure based on their individual characteristics. A two equation model with random effects and regression components is consistently estimated, jointly with the computation of...

We provide a characterization of an optimal insurance contract (coverage schedule and audit policy) when the monitoring procedure is random. When the policyholder exhibits constant absolute risk aversion, the optimal contract involves a positive indemnity payment with a deductible when the...

The purpose of this paper is to study the prevention impact upon the economic dynamics. We use an overlapping-generations model with production in which we have introduced a financial loss for households. This risk is endogenous and depends on the individual prevention levels. The dynamic paths...

We discuss how to detect the informational content of household decisions among the explanatory variables of econometric models. Two applications to the choice of automobile insurance contracts and the demand for life insurance are provided. We show that the information provided by additional...
