Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to review research on lapse in life insurance and to outline potential new areas of research in this field. Design/methodology/approach – The authors consider theoretical lapse rate models as well as empirical research on life insurance lapse and...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the importance of modeling parameter risk in premium risk, especially when data are scarce and a multi-year projection horizon is considered. Internal risk models often integrate both process and parameter risks in modeling reserve risk,...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a simulation-based approach for modeling multi-year non-life insurance risk in internal risk models. Strategic management in an insurance company requires a multi-year time horizon for economic decision making, for example, in the context of...
