Set ( E[1 - e^-a(W-X)] = 1 - e^-a(W-P) ). Simplify: ( E[e^-a(W-X)] = e^-a(W-P) ) → ( e^-aW E[e^aX] = e^-aW e^aP ) → ( E[e^aX] = e^aP ). For ( X \sim \textExp(\lambda) ), ( M_X(a) = \frac\lambda\lambda - a ) for ( a < \lambda ). Thus ( P = \frac1a \ln\left( \frac\lambda\lambda - a \right) ). Interpretation: Premium increases with risk aversion ( a ) and volatility of ( X ). Chapter 4: Collective Risk Model Example Exercise: Claim number ( N \sim \textPoisson(\lambda) ), claim sizes ( Y_i \sim \textExp(\mu) ). Derive the moment generating function of total claim ( S = \sum_i=1^N Y_i ). Then compute ( \textVar(S) ).

panjer_poisson <- function(lambda, fY, max_claims) pn <- dpois(0:max_claims, lambda) fs <- numeric(max_claims+1) fs[1] <- pn[1] # P(S=0) for (n in 1:max_claims) for (k in 1:n) fs[n+1] <- fs[n+1] + (lambda * k / n) * fY[k] * fs[n - k + 1] fs[n+1] <- fs[n+1] * pn[1] # adjust for Poisson return(fs) modern actuarial risk theory solution manual
