  1. Oct 28, 2016 · In the chain ladder model of Schnaus, all modified chain ladder predictors are unbiased. This raises the question of whether there is another quality that distinguishes the chain ladder predictors of a given future cumulative loss at least from all other modified chain ladder predictors of the same cumulative loss.

  2. The model allows to characterize optimality of the chain ladder factors as predictors of non-observable development factors and hence optimality of the chain ladder predictors of aggregate claims at the end of the first non-observable calendar year.
