Abstract :
The paper introduces an alternative approach to the traditional experience rating theory in automobile insurance The approach is based on a simple theory of how high deductibles financed by loans maintain the risk differentiation in an automobile insurance arrangement Thus the approach differs totally from the usual bonus-malus classes as well as from the credibility based experience rating ideas. The paper is of a theoretical nature and leads up to a mathematical descrtptlon of how the approach may be optimalized withm the framework of a risk model.
