The Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) and the CAS Reinsurance Research Working Group are pleased to extend a call for papers. The goal of this program is to facilitate the publication of clear, practical, accessible papers on reinsurance topics.

The Casualty Actuarial Society recently released a joint report examining China’s insurance trends. Co-sponsored with the Society of Actuaries and Canadian Institute of Actuaries, “China: An Era of Insurance Innovation,” highlights insurance trends in China, with a particular focus on topics that will drive the enterprise risk management (ERM) function of insurance companies.

Two new papers have been published on the Variance website.

The CAS is pleased to announce its inaugural “Hacktuary Challenge,” a contest designed to showcase the actuarial skill set in developing novel risk engineering solutions. The challenge offers a prize of $15,000 to the individual or group who develop an application that utilizes actuarial concepts to solve a pressing risk management problem related to personal auto insurance. The target platform of the application is open — it may be deployed as a mobile app, an interactive web site, a desktop application, or some other means. The only deployment criteria are that it be publicly available and feature interactive elements.
