Abstract
In his discussion of the author’s paper, Ira Robbin takes issue with several aspects of the proposed risk load formula. In this response, the author seeks to clarify some of these differences and expand upon the role of reinsurance in the pricing of high limit policies. In particular, he shows how the risk load formula can be used to develop an efficient reinsurance program.
