Description
Book Synopsis: PRICING INSURANCE RISK—A comprehensive framework for measuring, valuing, and managing risk
Pricing Insurance Risk: Theory and Practice delivers an accessible and authoritative account of how to determine the premium for a portfolio of non-hedgeable insurance risks and how to allocate it fairly to each portfolio component. The authors synthesize hundreds of academic research papers, bringing to light little-appreciated answers to fundamental questions about the relationships between insurance risk, capital, and premium.

- An in-depth treatment of classical risk measures and premium calculation principles
- Properties of risk measures and their visualization
- A logical framework for spectral and coherent risk measures
- How risk measures for capital and pricing are distinct but interact
