35 Parameter Estmators: SST parameters reserve rsk reserve rsk should be valuated wth reservng technques; well known: Mack's mse of the ultmate for chan ladder reservng method; for solvency purposes one needs the one-year reserve rsk; the formula can be found n Bühlmann and alas (009); In Solvency we are nterested n the one n a century adverse reserve events. What scenaros come to our mnd: for nstance a hyper-nflaton or a bg change n legslaton. These are "calendar-year" events not observed n the trangles and not captured by standard reservng methods. => the reserve rsk resultng from standard reservng methods are not suffcent for solvency purposes and should be supplemented by reserve scenaros. 35 ASTIN Colloquum, 1-4 June 009, Helsnk / A.

It would be helpful f one could combne ndustry wde patterns wth the one evaluated wth the data of the ndvdual company. For chan ladder a credblty method was developed of how one could combne the nformaton ganed from the two sources: ndvdual data and ndustry wde nformaton. The dea s to estmate the age-to-age factors by credblty technques. For more nformaton see Gsler-Wüthrch (008). 36 ASTIN Colloquum, 1-4 June 009, Helsnk / A.
