Abstract

The premiums for a bonus-malus system which stays in financial equilibrium over the years are calculated. This is done by minimizing a quadratic function of the difference between the premium for an optimal BMS with an infinite number of classes and the premium for a BMS with a finite number of classes, weighted by the stationary probability of being in a certain class, and by imposing various constraints on the system.
