At the end of the course the student is familiar with the fundamental statistical tools needed to study and manage non-life insurance risks. He is able to compute premia and reserves of non-life insurance contracts.

Contenuti

This module aims to explain the fundamental risk modelling for insurance applications. Specifically, statistical and probabilistic modelling for non-life insurance risks are discussed as follow:

  • Loss distributions
  • Reinsurance
  • Risk models
