Market-based insurance ratemaking: application to pet insurance

Pierre-Olivier Goffard, Pierrick Piette, Gareth W. Peters

This paper introduces a method for pricing insurance policies using market data. The approach is designed for scenarios in which the insurance company seeks to enter a new market,…

Collaborative and parametric insurance on the Ethereum blockchain

Pierre-Olivier Goffard, Stéphane Loisel

This paper introduces a blockchain-based insurance scheme that integrates parametric and collaborative elements. A pool of investors, referred to as surplus providers, locks funds…

Blockchain mining in pools: Analyzing the trade-off between profitability and ruin

Hansjoerg Albrecher, Dina Finger, Pierre-Olivier Goffard

The resource-consuming mining of blocks on a blockchain equipped with a proof of work consensus protocol bears the risk of ruin, namely when the operational costs for the mining ex…

Approximate Bayesian Computations to fit and compare insurance loss models

Pierre-Olivier Goffard, Patrick J. Laub

Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) is a statistical learning technique to calibrate and select models by comparing observed data to simulated data. This technique bypasses the…

Orthogonal polynomial expansions to evaluate stop-loss premiums

Pierre-Olivier Goffard, Patrick J. Laub

A numerical method is proposed to evaluate the survival function of a compound distribution and the stop-loss premiums associated with a non-proportional global reinsurance treaty.…

Exponential convergence rate of ruin probabilities for level-dependent Lévy-driven risk processes

Pierre-Olivier Goffard, Andrey Sarantsev

We explicitly find the rate of exponential long-term convergence for the ruin probability in a level-dependent Lévy-driven risk model, as time goes to infinity. Siegmund duality al…

Orthonormal polynomial expansions and lognormal sum densities

Søren Asmussen, Pierre-Olivier Goffard, Patrick J. Laub

Approximations for an unknown density in terms of a reference density and its associated orthonormal polynomials are discussed. The main application is the approximation…
