Optimal bonus scales under path-dependent bonus rules
| Resumo: | Bonus malus systems have been studied by several authors under the framework of Markov chains. Optimal scales have been deduced by Norberg (1976), Borgan, Hoem & Norberg (1981) and Gilde & Sundt (1989). In these articles the authors assumed that the bonus system forms a first order Markov chain. In the present paper we deduce the optimal scales, using the same criteria as in the cited papers, for bonus systems that are not first order Markovian processes, but that can be regarded as Markovian by increasing the number of states of the system. |
