Abstract

In this paper the authors examine the viability of applying a bonusmalus system in establishing automobile liability premium rates. They have developed an optimal tariff system which reflects the equivalence principle between the amounts of the premiums and the reported losses of individual policyholders. Based on past incidents of the policyholders, a homogeneous distribution of the risk classes and an improved insurance rating have been obtained. The developed model was tested with the negative binomial distribution and the expected value principle on a sample of 98,978 policyholders in Serbia. As a result, the set tariff system has been financially balanced, i.e. a balance was struck between the cost amounts of total premiums among policyholders and the cost amount of expected future claims. It has been proven that, in the process of modelling the automobile liability rating system based on the frequency of claims, it is optimal to use sophisticated distribution models such as the negative binomial distribution.
