Accident Year Development, Bonus Banks, and Insurance Incentive Compensation

Joseph Calandro

Risk Management and Insurance Review, 2006, vol. 9, issue 2, 205-217

Abstract: Insurance claims can take years to resolve, which makes insurance performance measurement—and incentive compensation based on such measurement— challenging. The insurance industry utilizes a method of analysis called accident year analysis to manage the temporal challenge inherent in insurance claims. Despite the managerial and economic utility of this method of analysis, it has generally not been applied to incentive compensation programs for insurance company executives and employees. This article will explain accident year analysis, and will show how it can be merged with the bonus bank concept and the Insurance Performance Measure, which is an insurance economic profit metric, to construct an economically consistent insurance incentive compensation program.
