Role of insurance in wildfire risk mitigation

Devika Hazra et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of wildfire-risk on homeownership in fire-prone zones and highlights the insufficient insurance coverage in moderate-to-high risk areas. The research findings suggest that current insurance policies do not effectively discourage homeownership in high-risk zones.

The economic impacts of direct natural disaster exposure

Meliyanni Johar et al.

Summary: This study estimates the economic impacts of natural disasters on household damages or destruction. The findings show that natural disasters have no impact on employment and income, but have substantial effects on financial hardship and risk aversion. Smaller isolated disasters, which receive little government support, have particularly large impacts, while residing in a disaster zone without experiencing residential destruction has minimal effects. Age, parenthood, illness, and social support are identified as predictors of financial vulnerability to destruction. These results can inform the allocation of government assistance after future disasters.

Earthquake parametric insurance with Bayesian spatial quantile regression

Jeffrey Pai et al.

Summary: Parametric insurance is widely used to insure nature-related risks. This paper proposes a Bayesian spatial quantile regression model to reduce the basis risk of earthquake parametric insurance. The model analyzes the impact of earthquake hazard, risk exposure, and vulnerability on economic loss, taking into account spatial correlation.

ADDRESSING IMBALANCED INSURANCE DATA THROUGH ZERO-INFLATED POISSON REGRESSION WITH BOOSTING

Simon C. K. Lee

Summary: The study introduces a machine learning approach to zero-inflated Poisson (ZIP) regression, which enhances predictive accuracy through adaptive weight adjustment. The cyclic coordinate descent optimization is used to address imbalanced financial data, demonstrating significant improvement in performance through real-life data testing. The results justify the modeling techniques as compared to other popular alternatives.

Cyber claim analysis using Generalized Pareto regression trees with applications to insurance

Sebastien Farkas et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a method for cyber claim analysis based on regression trees to identify criteria for claim classification and evaluation. The focus is on severe/extreme claims, combining Generalized Pareto modeling and a regression tree approach. The method allows computations of central scenarios and extreme loss quantiles for a cyber portfolio.

A random forest based approach for predicting spreads in the primary catastrophe bond market

Despoina Makariou et al.

Summary: The use of random forest for predicting catastrophe bond spreads showed better performance compared to benchmark linear regression, extracting information more effectively and capturing interactions better without specifying them. The results were stable in terms of prediction accuracy and minimal depth importance ranking. There was only a small divergence between the drivers of catastrophe bond spread in the predictive versus explanatory framework.

Boosting Insights in Insurance Tariff Plans with Tree-Based Machine Learning Methods

Roel Henckaerts et al.

Summary: This study focuses on using machine learning methods to develop comprehensive tariff plans and adjust for the specific characteristics of insurance data to establish transparent and interpretable pricing models. By utilizing decision trees in machine learning and selecting optimal tuning parameters, as well as providing visualization tools to evaluate the economic value of the new modeling approaches.
