Lernergebnisse der Lehrveranstaltung

After the successful completion of the course students are able to master the various different computational approaches to estimate risk determinants for non-life risk (damage probabilities and amount of damage). They can estimate the loss distribution for non-life risks which allows them to estimate risk measures such as the Value at Risk. Also, they are able to test the quality of already implemented risk measurement models (back-testing) and they can conduct stress tests that analyse the impact of scarce extreme events. This detailed knowledge about non-life risk measurement is essential for managing non-life risk.
