Abstract
Claims reserving is one main task in general insurance actuarial mathematics. A central issue in claims reserving is the modeling of appropriate dependence structures. Most classical models cannot cope with this task. We define a multivariate log-normal model that allows to model both, dependence between different sub-portfolios and dependence within sub-portfolios such as claims inflation. In this model we derive closed form solutions for claims reserves and the corresponding prediction uncertainty.
Keywords: general insurance, non-life insurance, claims reserving, aggregation of run-off portfolios, claims inflation, outstanding loss liabilities
