Introduction to Insurance Mathematics Technical and Financial Features of Risk Transfers / [recurso electrónico] : by Annamaria Olivieri, Ermanno Pitacco. - XV, 475p. 180 illus. online resource.
Risks and insurance -- Managing a portfolio of risks -- Life insurance: modelling the lifetime -- Life insurance: pricing -- Life insurance: reserving -- Reserves and profits in a life insurance portfolio -- Finance in life insurance: linking benefits to the investment performance -- Pension plans: technical and financial perspectives -- Non-life insurance: pricing and reserving.
The book aims at presenting technical and financial features of life insurance, non-life insurance, pension plans. The book has been planned assuming non-actuarial readers as its “natural” target, namely - advanced undergraduate and graduate students in Economics, Business and Finance; - professionals and technicians operating in Insurance and pension areas, whose job may regard investments, risk analysis, financial reporting, etc, and hence implies a communication with actuarial professionals and managers. Given the assumed target, the book focuses on technical and financial aspects of insurance, however avoiding the use of complex mathematical tools. In this sense, the book can be placed at some “midpoint” of the existing literature, part of which adopts more formal approaches to insurance problems implying the use of non-elementary mathematics, whereas another part addresses practical questions totally avoiding even simple mathematical tools (which, in our opinion, can conversely provide effective tools for presenting technical and financial features of the insurance business).
