Description: This paper analyzed the deficit risk that an insurer assumes when a group insurance contract is subject to a retrospective experience-rating arrangement. In this paper, a method for quantifying the deficit risk and determining explicitly an appropriate risk charge level is developed.

Description: This paper presents various book reviews published in Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1980, Vol. 32.

Description: This paper is an attempt to examine transmission and incubation period models. Results are used to estimate the risk of HIV+ exposure of an individual company and the resulting reserve needs. From Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1989, Vol. 41.

Description: This paper considers the distribution of aggregate claims of an insurer. The general form of the distribution is considered initially, and, after a few mild restrictions are imposed, it is characterized as being a compound distribution. Followed by one submitted discussion paper.
