PODRA Model: being simple and useful — by Jörg Dittrich — posted on 11.11.2009 03:45 — 0 comment(s)

We start risk assessment of insurance business by defining a model. Several issues influence our decision on the complexity of the model. The aim to cover the reality expands our model. In contradiction we would like to observe, originate and quantify implications and interactions, which gives us the intention to make it simpler and smarter. The PODRA model is one of the simplest models, being very useful for assessing insurance risks. Try it out.
