Abstract

The goal of this research was to evaluate the effects of the 1992 change in the automobile insurance pricing by the Société de l'assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ, the public insurer for bodily injuries) on road safety. Our results indicate that the new pricing system reduced infractions and accidents which means that it increased road safety. Moreover, our results show that the total number of demerit points accumulated over two years is a good predictor for road accidents in the next two-years period which supports the pricing formula of the SAAQ. Finally, we obtain that this pricing policy introduces more fairness in actuarial terms by charging higher premia to higher risks. These results were obtained from the parameters estimation of the Negative Binomial distribution with random effects to take into account of the panel characteristics of the data.
