We develop a model of premium sharing for firms that offer multiple insurance plans. We assume that firms offer one low quality plan and one high quality plan. Under the assumption of wage rigidities we found that the employee's contribution to each plan is an increasing function of that plan's premium. The effect of the other plan's premium is ambiguous. We test our hypothesis using data from ...

Automobile hull insurance has attracted much attention due to the high rate of vehicle applications in daily lives. Since purchasing these policies is optional in Iran and their premium rates are set competitively, a competition is formed among the insurance companies for attracting low risk drivers. However, most of the insurers still use comparative rates and pay no or less attention to the f...

Insurance The de facto paid premium in the (German) private health insurance depends on the insurance payments in the past (claim's experience). In case the insured does not make use of the insurance contract and accepts his health costs, he receives a defined premium refund – based on the monthly premium – the following year. The insured should therefore trade off between the premium refund an...

Capacity of garden productions in Iran is such that is accounted as a country that produces thirteen garden products in the world but despite excellent condition in Iran for producing garden products, natural disasters damage production of fruits in the country therefore farmers incur a loss. Pistachio tree has been in danger of destruction and dryness. Thus, in order to reduce loss incurred on...

The representative agent model (RA) has dominated macroeconomics for the last thirty years. This model does a reasonably good job of explaining the co-movements of consumption, investment, GDP and employment during normal times. But it cannot easily explain movements in asset prices. Two facts are hard to understand 1) The return to equity is highly volatile and 2) The premium for holding equit...

We discuss the application of the proportional hazard premium calculation principle in the parametric and non parametric framework. In the parametric approach, we propose a method to calculate the premium of a compound risk when the severity distribution is subexponential. In the non parametric approach, the use of the empirical distribution to calculate the premium using the proportional hazar...
