Abstract

The spike in extreme weather events causes a crisis in the insurance industry. However, the odd homeowner rating algorithm for WGIC cannot handle this situation very much. To tackle the drawback, this paper discuss how the market get used to the climate change, the effect of cross-subsidies and more improvements. Add those catastrophe variables into the odd models to make the estimation more refined, and how to set up the model.
