Abstract:We assume that an insurance undertaking models its risk by a random variable X = X(θ) with a fixed parameter (vector) θ. If the undertaking does not know θ, it faces parameter uncertainty (see e.g. [1,2,4,5,10]). It is well-known that neglecting parameter uncertainty can lead to an underestimation of the true risk capital requirement.In this contribution we address some practical questions. A risk capital requirement not taking into account parameter uncertainty can imply a probability of solvency significantl… Show more
