A hierarchical model The data for micro-level stochastic loss reserving Data are from the General Insurance Association of E.A. Valdez Singapore . Observations are from one company over 10-year period: Jan 1993 – Jul 2002. Motivation ⇒ “present moment” in this case–study is 25 Jul 2002. Data Literature Policy file : characteristics of policyholder and vehicle Data structure insured Statistical approach Time to events Payment type ⇒ age, gender, vehicle type, vehicle age, . . . Payments Prediction Claims file : keeps track of each accident claim filed with Conclusion the insurer ⇒ linked to policy file, contains accident date. Payments file : reports each payment made during observation period. ⇒ linked to claims file, with payment date, size and type. page 4

Payment types may be: Motivation Data own damage ( O ) (including injury, property, fire, theft); Literature Data structure injury ( I ) to a party other than the insured; Statistical approach Time to events property damage ( P ). Payment type Payments Prediction Combinations of these types may also occur. Conclusion Frees and Valdez (2008, JASA) summarized the many payments per claim into one single claim amount. page 5

A hierarchical model Observable data structure for micro-level stochastic loss reserving E.A. Valdez total number of claims in the data set is n = 43 , 729; N i , number of “events” in development period of claim i ; T ij , time of event j , in months since the accident date Motivation ( T i 0 = 0 is accident date and T iN i is settlement date); Data Literature C i time of censoring ; Data structure Statistical approach E ij type of event j . We distinguish: Time to events Payment type - event type 1: direct settlement without any payments; Payments Prediction - event type 2: payment with settlement; Conclusion - event type 3: payment without settlement. M ij type of payment for event j of claim i . P ijk size of payment of type k ( k being ‘own damage’ (O), ‘injury’ (I) or ‘property’ (P)) for event j of claim i . page 10
