This study estimates the risk contributions of individual European countries regarding the indemnity payments in agricultural insurance. We model the total risk exposure as an insurance portfolio where each country is unique in terms of its risk characteristics. The data has been collected from the recent surveys conducted by the European Commission and the World Bank. Farm Accountancy Data Network is used as well. 22 out of 26 member states are included in the study. The results suggest that the Euro-Mediterranean countries are the major risk contributors. These countries not only have the highest expected loss but also high volatility of indemnity payments. Nordic countries have the lowest indemnity payments and risk exposure.

Stochastic surplus processes with VaR AND CVaR simulations in actuarial applications Şimşek, Meral; Uğur, Ömür; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe; Department of Actuarial Sciences (2016) The theory of ruin is a substantial study for those who are interested in ﬁnancial survival probability based on the patterns imposed by the surplus process, which determines the insurer’s capital balance at a given time. In other words, ﬂuctuations in aggregate claims as well as premiums in such processes can be secured by a certain capital. In this study, we simulate various surplus processes under different claim sizedistribution assumptions and extend the analyses by adding perturbation of a Brownian mo...
Valuation of life insurance contracts using stochastic mortality rate and risk process modeling Çetinkaya, Şirzat; Hayfavi, Azize; Department of Financial Mathematics (2007) In life insurance contracts, actuaries generally value premiums using deterministic mortality rates and interest rates. They have ignored them stochastically in most of the studies. However it is known that neither interest rates nor mortality rates are constant. It is also known that companies may encounter insolvency problems such as ruin, so the ruin probability need to be added to the valuation of the life insurance contracts process. Insurance companies should model their surplus processes to price som...
The Comparison of risk measures on claim distributions: Turkish motor insurance case Telkes, Cansu; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe; Tank, Fatih; Department of Actuarial Sciences (2018) In this thesis, the impact of various risk measures on pricing methodology of automobile insurance product by using the historical claim data which is obtained from one of the most reputable insurance company in Turkey is investigated. To model the distribution of claim experience for pricing methodology, four right skewed distributions are chosen, namely Gamma, Weibull, Lognormal and Pareto. Two classical methods, which are methods of moment estimation and maximum likelihood estimation, are used to estimat...
Reinsurance pricing using exposure curve of two dependent risks Akarsu, Gülçin; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe; Lourdes Centeno, Maria de; Department of Actuarial Sciences (2018) It is known that experience rating and exposure rating are used for insurance and reinsurance pricing by many practitioners. One of the main tools of exposure rating which is commonly used is exposure curves. It evaluates the percents of pure risk premium shared by insurer and reinsurer. In practice, the exposure curves which depend solely on claim history are widely utilized as an important indicator to determine the price and retention level based on the preferences and strategies of the insurer and reins...
TRENDS IN AGRICULTURAL INSURANCE: PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE Gülseven, Osman; Nas, S. E. (2011-01-01) The article proves that due to the complexity of agricultural business, risks in agriculture are as important to the society as to the individual farmers. An unexpected drought can have catastrophic effects on the farms output which in turn will reduce the overall welfare of the society. Besides the occurrence of potential risks, the management of these risks is also a concern for the society. In this paper we discuss the common risk management techniques with special emphasis on insurance mechanisms. Past ...
