Description: Hear about some applications using quantile regression-derived individual and group claim distributions and how they may be used in various traditional health care modeling situations. The session will not focus on the technical use of quantile regression to obtain estimates of claim distributions, but more so is intended to focus on the uses of the distributions in actuarial modeling and the additive framework in assessing claims distributions. Presenters will show how actuaries can better assess risks by focusing on the individual- and group-specific claims distributions as opposed to traditional point-estimate-centric models.

Description: Pandemic modeling and its impact on the insurance and reinsurance business have been the subject of scrutiny during the COVID-19 pandemic. As the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared its end as a global health emergency, the focus of insurers and reinsurers turns to the possibility of future pandemics. Key to considering possible future pandemics is assessing what is needed to model pandemic risks. Our presentation will focus on providing you with the following: - The main principles around creating a well-established pandemic risk modeling framework, what they are and how you should build them into your model (As a reinsurer, this is core to our business, and we have unique global insights into performing it.) - A review of pandemic risk modeling strategies as well as an understanding of the inherent uncertainties of pandemic events - Lessons learned from COVID-19 and how we can apply them in assessing the possibility of future pandemics - An understanding of the link between future pandemic risk and the capital requirements
