Techniques for dealing with changing rates of inflation in loss
development are described in:

"Probabilistic Development Factor Models with Applications to Loss
Reserve Variability, Prediction Intervals and Risk based Capital" by
Ben Zehnwirth, published in the Casualty Actuarial Society Forum,
Spring 1994, Vol. 2 (now included by the Society of Actuaries (USA)
in Course 7 of their education program), and

"Best Estimates for Reserves" by Glen Barnett and Ben Zehnwirth,
Casualty Actuarial Society Forum, Fall 1998

These techniques are implemented in the ICRFS-Plus software produced
by Insureware. For more information, see the web site
