Reinventing the utility for distributed energy resources: A proposal for retail electricity markets
In this paper we propose a distribution-level retail electricity market operated by a Distribution System Operator (DSO), to permit participation for small-scale distributed energy resources (DERs) in a real-time energy market. The retail market is built

Research on a Model for an Empirical Analysis of Inherent Defect Insurance Based on Ruin Theory
The system of inherent defect insurance is an important measure to serve the real economy through financial means and improve the quality of construction projects, which is the future development direction of China’s construction industry. However, the related research is not perfect due to the short implementation of the insurance.

Risk, crop yields, and weather index insurance in village India
We investigate the sources of variability in agricultural production and their relative importance in the context of weather index insurance for smallholder farmers in India. Seasonal variation in weather accounts for 19‐20 percent of total variance in crop yields.

Pricing strategies in the German term life insurance market: An empirical analysis
Abstract The life insurance sector is highly regulated. Areas of regulation include not only solvency requirements but also product pricing. In most industries, companies aim to increase producer rents by using information regarding the customer's willingness to pay (WTP), which allows them to endeavor price discrimination if no perfect competition ...

Near‐miss telematics in motor insurance
Abstract We present a method to integrate telematics data in a pay‐how‐you‐drive insurance pricing scheme that penalizes some near‐miss events. We illustrate our method with a sample of drivers for whom information on near‐miss events and claims frequency records are available. We discuss the implications for motor insurance ratemaking.

Abstract We employ a discrete choice experiment to elicit demand and supply side preferences for insurance‐linked credit, a promising market‐based tool for managing agricultural weather risks and providing access to credit for farmers. We estimate preference heterogeneity using primary data from smallholder farmers and managers of lenders/insurers ...

Claim Amount Forecasting and Pricing of Automobile Insurance Based on the BP Neural Network
The BP neural network model is a hot issue in recent academic research, and it has been successfully applied to many other fields, but few researchers apply the BP neural network model to the field of automobile insurance. The main method that has been used in the prediction of the total claim amount in automobile insurance is the generalized linear ...

AbstractWe start by describing how, in some cases, we can use variance-related premium principles in ratemaking, when the claim numbers and individual claim amounts are independent. We use quasi-likelihood generalized linear models, under the assumption that the variance function is a power function of the mean of the underlying random variable.
