A financially Balanced Bonus/Malus System [PDF]

open access: yesASTIN Bulletin, 1996
AbstractThe premiums for a bonus-malus system which stays in financial equilibrium over the years are calculated. This is done by minimizing a quadratic function of the difference between the premium for an optimal BMS with an infinite number of classes and the premium for a BMS with a finite number of classes, weighted by the stationary probability of

Welfare implications of fair and accountable insurance pricing

open access: yesJournal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper introduces an empirical framework to evaluate the welfare implications of fair and accountable insurance pricing by modeling the complete pricing process, including demand and price optimization. Moving beyond traditional cost modeling, we analyze both discrimination‐related fairness criteria and broader regulatory constraints, such

Selection in car insurance when claims are heterogeneous

open access: yesJournal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract Econometric studies of insurance markets have analyzed the Positive Correlation Property to test for the presence of asymmetric information. Car‐insurance studies frequently compare policies purchasing Mandatory Third‐Party Liability alone with policies that purchase additional coverage and use the presence of a liability claim as a measure of

Fairness‐aware insurance pricing: A multi‐objective optimization approach

open access: yesJournal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract Machine‐learning models can provide accurate predictions in insurance pricing, but can also increase disparities between protected groups. Existing fairness‐aware pricing approaches typically target one fairness notion at a time, making it difficult to compare trade‐offs between predictive accuracy, group fairness, individual fairness, and ...

Force‐Vector Pilates Exercises on Functional Performance and Braking Reaction Time in Older Professional Drivers: An Exploratory Feasibility Study

open access: yesPhysiotherapy Research International, Volume 31, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Purpose Evidence regarding driving‐related outcomes in older professional drivers remains limited. This exploratory feasibility study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of implementing a force‐vector–oriented Mat Pilates program in older professional drivers and to explore potential changes in functional performance and braking ...

Mechanistic role of biochar as a geobiochemical amendment: Mitigating abiotic stress and enhancing soil–plant interactions

open access: yesSoil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Abiotic stressors, including drought, salinity, and heavy metal contamination, pose escalating threats to global food security, challenges further exacerbated by climate change and progressive soil degradation. As a strategic geochemical amendment, biochar is increasingly proposed to enhance soil resilience and agricultural sustainability ...

An Application of Linear Programming to Bonus Malus System Design [PDF]

open access: yesASTIN Bulletin, 2004
The purpose of this paper is to show how linear programming methodology can help us to design Bonus-Malus premium scales with some interesting theoretical and practical attributes. Examples of these properties are the financial equilibrium of the system, the monotonicity and proper variability of the premium scale, and the improvement of some ...

Bonus - Malus System with Deductibles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This thesis deals with the option of substitution of malus surcharge on pre- mium in a classical bonus - malus system with deductible. Firstly, we clarify the basic principles of bonus - malus systems, then we show how to model the expec- ted claim ...

Modal Interval Probability: Application to Bonus-Malus Systems

open access: yesInternational Journal of Uncertainty, Fuzziness and Knowledge-Based Systems, 2020
Classical intervals have been a very useful tool to analyze uncertain and imprecise models, in spite of operative and interpretative shortcomings. The recent introduction of modal intervals helps to overcome those limitations. In this paper, we apply modal intervals to the field of probability, including properties and axioms that form a theoretical ...
