Overall losses
 Direct losses:
visible, countable, physical, tangible…*)
Examples: damage or loss of homes and content,
vehicles, infrastructure, public buildings, machinery,
livestock etc. (based on replacement & repair costs)
 Indirect losses:
intangible, non-physical, immaterial…
Examples: higher transport costs due to damaged
infrastructure, supply chain interruptions, loss of
jobs, loss of rental income etc.
 Secondary & consequential losses:
…emerge from economic dependencies
Examples: diminished tax revenues, lower (macro-)
economic output, reduced ratings, impacts on a
currency’s exchange rates etc.
 Paid out losses, covered by the insurance industry
 Depend on the covered lines of business and the
insurance penetration for each country and/or
market situation
Situation in the U.S.
 PCS
 NFIP
 Agro
 Offshore
 Aviation
Other countries
 Insurance councils
 Insurance companies
 Modeled / aggregated
losses (e.g. PERILS,
RMS, AIR, CatIQ)
What do loss figures comprise?

Loss Estimation
NatCatSERVICE identifies five levels of information quality:
1. Info on insured losses in industrial countries, compiled by institutions such as PCS,
Perils AG or various Insurance Associations
2. Partial info on insured losses in developing markets / countries
3. Info on total economic losses, often from governments (no info on insured loss)
4. Partial info on economic losses (e.g. impact on agriculture, infrastructure etc.)
5. Only description of event (e.g. number of houses damaged / destroyed by flood,
storm, earthquake etc.)

Loss Estimation
Uncertainty in loss estimates
Loss estimation relies heavily on assumptions and interpretations.  Quality of estimates is limited by
accuracy of assumptions.
Large loss events: Large uncertainty in absolute values, but small uncertainty in relative values!
Small loss events: Small uncertainty in absolute values, but large uncertainty in relative values!
Why? …two reasons:
a) Better information quality for large loss events due to higher general interest.
b) The larger and vaster a loss event, “the higher the odds” that errors in assumptions will compensate
in estimation procedure ( central limit theorem).
How large are the uncertainties?
 But small scale losses do not play a significant role in risk management since total risk is determined by
few largest loss events per year (due to skewness of loss distribution function).
Our experience (!): errors in multi-billion-Dollar losses in developed and some emerging countries are
typically less then 10%, while errors in few-million-Dollar losses can easily exceed factors of 2.

Loss Data Normalization
Two biasing factors in loss data over time
Reporting effect
US$
# of loss events
Trend bias in number of loss events
today
past
Exposure growth
US$
# of loss events

Trend bias in loss magnitudes per event
A) Improved reporting of events (internet etc.) B) Increasing wealth, population and destructible
assets (i.e. socio-economic growth)
Hypothetical curve of all loss events
How many did we find in the past?
How many do we find today?

Loss Data Normalization
Improved reporting and socio-economic growth: two biasing factors
How to overcome reporting bias & socio-economic influence when doing time series analysis of loss data?
1. Normalization of loss data
 Eliminates socio-economic trend bias
2. Introducing a lower threshold to normalized losses
 Eliminates reporting bias
Procedure (in this order!) is necessary when studying other factors of influence on loss data!
A) Improved reporting of events over time (internet etc.)
B) Increasing wealth, population and destructible assets (i.e. socio-economic growth)

NatCatSERVICE

Loss Data Normalization
What is loss data normalization?
Loss data normalization tries to account for changes of wealth and destructible assets over time and space.
Hence, it is more than just inflation adjustment.
1980: 200k $ 2015: 500k $
Inflation
(change of value of money)
2015: 1m $1980: 200k $
Growth of wealth and assets
Difference between the two questions:
What would the loss of event X in year Y cost today?  Requires inflation adjustment
What loss would the event X in year Y cause today?  Requires normalization
NatCatSERVICE

Loss Data Normalization
Classical normalization using Gross Domestic Product data (GDP)
• Two proxies for wealth used:
o building stock (BS)
(number of home units) x (nominal median value of homes)
o GDP
(population) x (nominal GDP per capita)
Normalization of past direct economic losses to current levels of wealth:

 Parameters for severe convective storm forcing environments :
 CAPE - Convective Available Potential Energy (temperature and humidity)
 DLS - Deep-Layer Wind Shear (up- and down-draft winds, supports convection)
 From this we calculate TSP (Thunderstorm Severity Potential) (J. Sander, 2011)
TSP := × DLS 6km AGL-GL [J kg-1]
 Very high values of TSP correspond to high probability of severe thunderstorms
(TSP ≥ 3,000 J kg-1, corresponding to 99.99th percentile of distribution)

• Increase in variability and mean level of severe thunderstorm-related normalized large losses
(USA east of Rockies, 1970 – 2009, March – Sept.)
• Changes in losses reflect increasing variability and mean level in thunderstorm forcing, i.e.
changing climatic conditions.
This finding contradicts the opinion that changing socio-economic conditions are the only
driver of change in thunderstorm-related losses.
• Changes coincide with rise in low-level specific humidity and in seasonally aggregated potential
convective energy. These effects seem consistent with the modeled effect from anthropogenic
climate change that other studies have demonstrated.
Further research that is underway
• Can we identify variability signals in other perils & loss data / in other regions?
• Can we identify variability signals similar to the observation also in climate change projections?

Convective storm event in Texas and Ohio in 2013 (Source: PCS)
Major damage in TX from : flash floods and wind
Major damage in OH from: wind
Split by state and lines of business:
TX: 16.5m (res) + 5.5m (com) + 9.7m (auto) = 31.7m US$
OH: 14m (res) + 5 (com) + 0.7m (auto) = 19.7m US$
Insured loss: 51.4m (PCS) + 30.2m (NFIP) = 81.6m US$
Assumptions on insurance penetration & take-up rates in affected areas:
For Texas: Insurance penetration residential: 81%
Auto and commercial penetration: 95%
NFIP penetration: 20%
For Ohio: Insurance penetration residential: 99%
Auto and commercial penetration: 95%
Assumption on limits / deductibles: 5%
Loss Estimation
Example: loss event in TX and OH (info level 1)
NatCatSERVICE
© 2016 Münchener Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft, Geo Risks Research, NatCatSERVICE – As at October 2016
Statewide NFIP penetration might not be representative for affected region.
Depending on flood loss situation a correction factor cf is applied (here: 1).
Calculating the economic loss based on insured loss:
TX: Residential: 16.5m / (0.81 * 0.95) = 21m US$
Auto and commercial: (5.5m + 9.7m) / (0.95 * 0.95) = 17m US$
Flood losses: 30.2m / (0.20 * cf) = 151m US$
Assumption: ~20% infrastructure damage = 38m US$
 227m US$
OH: Residential: 14m / (0.99 * 0.95) = 15m US$
Auto and commercial: (5m + 0.7m) / (0.95 * 0.95) = 6m US$
Assumption: ~10% infrastructure damage = 2m US$
 23m US$
Combined direct economic loss estimate (rounded):  250m US$

Earthquake (Mw 6.1) in Uzbekistan in 2011 with…
• 13 fatalities
• 2,000 homes damaged/destroyed
• 5% destroyed, 95% damaged (assumption based on event reports and photos)
Uzbekistan belongs to World Bank income group 3 (lower middle)
Typical home values (incl. content) in affected area: 12,000 US$
Typical repair costs for 1 house in affected area: 2,000 US$
 2,000 * 0.05 * 12k US$ + 2,000 * 0.95 * 2k US$ = 5m US$
Plus substantial infrastructure and public buildings damaged/destroyed:
 Based on experience: loss magnitude similar to residential: 5m US$
Plus minor (here: ignorable) losses from Agro:
 Total loss estimate (rounded): 10m US$

Limitations of GDP norm
“Natural hazards don’t know borders!”
Socio-economic development can be very different within the same country.
Economic disparity may lead to over-/under-normalization of losses because
macro-economic proxy data is not representative for regional / local conditions.
Strongest effects observed in China:
Most of the economic development in China has happened along coast lines and
major cities, and to a much lesser extent inland.
Loss data from many severe river flood events inland in the 1990s would be
normalized with economic proxy rather valid for the coastal areas.

  • 1. NatCatSERVICE Introduction and Methodology Jan Eichner, Geo Risks Research, Head of NatCatSERVICE October 2016
  • 2. NatCatSERVICE © 2016 Münchener Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft, Geo Risks Research, NatCatSERVICE – As at October 2016 NatCatSERVICE One of the world‘s largest databases on natural catastrophes The Database  All loss events from 1980 until today; for USA and selected countries in Europe all loss events since 1970  Retrospectively, all great disasters since 1950  In addition, ~2,600 major historical events starting from 79 AD with the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius  Currently ca. 39,000 data sets Downloadcenter www.munichre.com/natcatservice/ downloadcenter/en
  • 3. NatCatSERVICE © 2016 Münchener Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft, Geo Risks Research, NatCatSERVICE – As at October 2016 Tasks of NatCatSERVICE o Collect and analyze worldwide information on all types of NatCat loss events o Perform trend analysis and cause-of-trend research o Learn about the drivers of NatCat losses (exposure, vulnerability and hazard) o Find and evaluate correlations between loss patterns and patterns on the hazard side (i.e. meteorological, hydrological, geophysical …) o Learn about economic consequences of temporal changes in these patterns o Learn about impact of climate variability and climate change on NatCat losses
  • 4. NatCatSERVICE © 2016 Münchener Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft, Geo Risks Research, NatCatSERVICE – As at October 2016 Structure of NatCatSERVICE Field-of-work schematic Data Mining & Survey Loss Estimation Loss Normalization Analytics Sourcing of event information Geo-coding Quality control and revision Insured loss information: - Internal / external sources Economic loss estimation: - Insurance penetration data - Home values / building & construction cost data - Agricultural data - Infrastructure information - etc. Loss estimation procedures Statistics & charts Trends & correlations Customized analyses Explanation of methodologies & interpretation of results (Re-)Presentation of NCS - Publications, presentations, internet - Work projects, co-operations Normalization procedures - CPI adjustment - GDP normalization - GCP normalization Provision and preparation of socio-economic proxy data CatClassification - Applying income group data on normalized loss to assign a CatClass to each event
  • 5. NatCatSERVICE © 2016 Münchener Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft, Geo Risks Research, NatCatSERVICE – As at October 2016 Loss Estimation
  • 6. © 2016 Münchener Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft, Geo Risks Research, NatCatSERVICE – As at October 2016 Overall losses  Direct losses: visible, countable, physical, tangible…*) Examples: damage or loss of homes and content, vehicles, infrastructure, public buildings, machinery, livestock etc. (based on replacement & repair costs)  Indirect losses: intangible, non-physical, immaterial… Examples: higher transport costs due to damaged infrastructure, supply chain interruptions, loss of jobs, loss of rental income etc.  Secondary & consequential losses: …emerge from economic dependencies Examples: diminished tax revenues, lower (macro-) economic output, reduced ratings, impacts on a currency’s exchange rates etc.  Paid out losses, covered by the insurance industry  Depend on the covered lines of business and the insurance penetration for each country and/or market situation Situation in the U.S.  PCS  NFIP  Agro  Offshore  Aviation Other countries  Insurance councils  Insurance companies  Modeled / aggregated losses (e.g. PERILS, RMS, AIR, CatIQ) What do loss figures comprise? NatCatSERVICE NatCatSERVICE Disaster loss data in global databases Insured losses *) used in NatCatSERVICE database
  • 7. NatCatSERVICE © 2016 Münchener Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft, Geo Risks Research, NatCatSERVICE – As at October 2016 Loss Estimation NatCatSERVICE identifies five levels of information quality: 1. Info on insured losses in industrial countries, compiled by institutions such as PCS, Perils AG or various Insurance Associations 2. Partial info on insured losses in developing markets / countries 3. Info on total economic losses, often from governments (no info on insured loss) 4. Partial info on economic losses (e.g. impact on agriculture, infrastructure etc.) 5. Only description of event (e.g. number of houses damaged / destroyed by flood, storm, earthquake etc.)
  • 8. NatCatSERVICE © 2016 Münchener Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft, Geo Risks Research, NatCatSERVICE – As at October 2016 Loss Estimation Economic loss estimate based on insured loss information (info level 1) 2. Up-scaling of insured loss based on insurance penetration & take-up rates information 3. Modulation of economic loss based on event-specific information and/or NatCatSERVICE experience 1. Insured loss info Economic loss estimation based on insurance market data data is of best quality! …and easiest way to scale up (info quality level 1)
  • 9. NatCatSERVICE © 2016 Münchener Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft, Geo Risks Research, NatCatSERVICE – As at October 2016 Loss Estimation Insurance density worldwide 2014 (defined by Munich Re) Insurance density per country Classification per capita by property insurance premium (non-life including health) Highly insured ( >1,000 US$) Well insured (101 – 1,000 US$) Basically insured (10 – 100 US$) Inadequately Insured (<10 US$) No dataSource: Munich Re, Economic Research, 2016
  • 10. NatCatSERVICE © 2016 Münchener Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft, Geo Risks Research, NatCatSERVICE – As at October 2016 Loss Estimation Uncertainty in loss estimates Loss estimation relies heavily on assumptions and interpretations.  Quality of estimates is limited by accuracy of assumptions. Large loss events: Large uncertainty in absolute values, but small uncertainty in relative values! Small loss events: Small uncertainty in absolute values, but large uncertainty in relative values! Why? …two reasons: a) Better information quality for large loss events due to higher general interest. b) The larger and vaster a loss event, “the higher the odds” that errors in assumptions will compensate in estimation procedure ( central limit theorem). How large are the uncertainties?  But small scale losses do not play a significant role in risk management since total risk is determined by few largest loss events per year (due to skewness of loss distribution function). Our experience (!): errors in multi-billion-Dollar losses in developed and some emerging countries are typically less then 10%, while errors in few-million-Dollar losses can easily exceed factors of 2.
  • 11. NatCatSERVICE © 2016 Münchener Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft, Geo Risks Research, NatCatSERVICE – As at October 2016 Loss Data Normalization Two biasing factors in loss data over time Reporting effect US$ # of loss events Trend bias in number of loss events today past Exposure growth US$ # of loss events past today Trend bias in loss magnitudes per event A) Improved reporting of events (internet etc.) B) Increasing wealth, population and destructible assets (i.e. socio-economic growth) Hypothetical curve of all loss events How many did we find in the past? How many do we find today?
  • 12. NatCatSERVICE © 2016 Münchener Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft, Geo Risks Research, NatCatSERVICE – As at October 2016 Loss Data Normalization Improved reporting and socio-economic growth: two biasing factors How to overcome reporting bias & socio-economic influence when doing time series analysis of loss data? 1. Normalization of loss data  Eliminates socio-economic trend bias 2. Introducing a lower threshold to normalized losses  Eliminates reporting bias Procedure (in this order!) is necessary when studying other factors of influence on loss data! A) Improved reporting of events over time (internet etc.) B) Increasing wealth, population and destructible assets (i.e. socio-economic growth)
  • 13. NatCatSERVICE © 2016 Münchener Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft, Geo Risks Research, NatCatSERVICE – As at October 2016 Loss Data Normalization
  • 14. NatCatSERVICE © 2016 Münchener Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft, Geo Risks Research, NatCatSERVICE – As at October 2016 Loss Data Normalization What is loss data normalization? Loss data normalization tries to account for changes of wealth and destructible assets over time and space. Hence, it is more than just inflation adjustment. 1980: 200k $ 2015: 500k $ Inflation (change of value of money) 2015: 1m $1980: 200k $ Growth of wealth and assets Difference between the two questions: What would the loss of event X in year Y cost today?  Requires inflation adjustment What loss would the event X in year Y cause today?  Requires normalization
  • 15. NatCatSERVICE © 2016 Münchener Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft, Geo Risks Research, NatCatSERVICE – As at October 2016 Loss Data Normalization Classical normalization using Gross Domestic Product data (GDP) • Two proxies for wealth used: o building stock (BS) (number of home units) x (nominal median value of homes) o GDP (population) x (nominal GDP per capita) Normalization of past direct economic losses to current levels of wealth: 𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑠 𝑛𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑧𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝑜𝑑𝑎𝑦 = 𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑠 𝑦𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡 ∗ 𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑑𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑢𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑤𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑡ℎ𝑡𝑜𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑑𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑢𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑤𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑡ℎ 𝑦𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡 1 Only data available worldwide!

  • 34. NatCatSERVICE © 2016 Münchener Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft, Geo Risks Research, NatCatSERVICE – As at October 2016 • Increase in variability and mean level of severe thunderstorm-related normalized large losses (USA east of Rockies, 1970 – 2009, March – Sept.) • Changes in losses reflect increasing variability and mean level in thunderstorm forcing, i.e. changing climatic conditions. This finding contradicts the opinion that changing socio-economic conditions are the only driver of change in thunderstorm-related losses. • Changes coincide with rise in low-level specific humidity and in seasonally aggregated potential convective energy. These effects seem consistent with the modeled effect from anthropogenic climate change that other studies have demonstrated. Further research that is underway • Can we identify variability signals in other perils & loss data / in other regions? • Can we identify variability signals similar to the observation also in climate change projections? Relation between climate variability and losses? Findings…

Economic disparity may lead to over-/under-normalization of losses because macro-economic proxy data is not representative for regional / local conditions. Strongest effects observed in China: Most of the economic development in China has happened along coast lines and major cities, and to a much lesser extent inland. Loss data from many severe river flood events inland in the 1990s would be normalized with economic proxy rather valid for the coastal areas.
