{"product_id":"9781461370703","title":"Loss Reserving: An Actuarial Perspective","description":"\u003ch1\u003eLoss Reserving: An Actuarial Perspective\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch2\u003eTaylor, Gregory\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eAll property and casualty insurers are required to carry out  loss reserving as a statutory accounting function. Thus, loss  reserving is an essential sphere of activity, and one with its own  specialized body of knowledge. While few books have been devoted to  the topic, the amount of published research literature on loss  reserving has almost doubled in size during the last fifteen years.  \u003cbr\u003e  Greg Taylor's book aims to provide a comprehensive, state-of-the-art  treatment of loss reserving that reflects contemporary research  advances to date. Divided into two parts, the book covers both the  conventional techniques widely used in practice, and more specialized  loss reserving techniques employing stochastic models. Part I,  Deterministic Models, covers very practical issues through the  abundant use of numerical examples that fully develop the techniques  under consideration. Part II, Stochastic Models, begins with a chapter  that sets up the additional theoretical material needed to illustrate  stochastic modeling. The remaining chapters in Part II are  self-contained, and thus can be approached independently of each  other. A special feature of the book is the use throughout of a single  real life data set to illustrate the numerical examples and new  techniques presented. The data set illustrates most of the difficult  situations presented in actuarial practice. This book will meet the  needs for a reference work as well as for a textbook on loss  reserving.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-11-02\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781461370703\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461370703\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-4583-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 389\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44359024181388,"sku":"9781461370703","price":198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461370703.jpg?v=1755100262","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461370703","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
