14.6 Past Exam Questions
Concepts
1998 - #55: formula vs empirical, expected difference given a scenario
2001 - #39 b: PDLD ratio pattern
First adjustment the basic premium is included in the retro premium computation; Small portion of loss is limited by the retro; LCF and TM also impacts it
At later periods, more losses are capped by the limit
2003 - #9: Loss capping ratio properties Double check
2003 - #10: Feldblum comment on Teng Perkins: premium responsiveness decreases at higher LR for a book of business
2007 - #36: Retro premium and reported losses relationship on graph
\(\star\) 2014 #12 14.4: incremental losses vs premium relationships
\(\star\) 2015 #14 14.5: PDLD ratio
TIA 2b: Difference in the first period
