Abstract

We assume that the number of claims occur according to a renewal process and treat the number of claims that occur and are reported in a certain time interval as a renewal process with random displacements. We obtain a renewal equation for the mean value function and an integral equation for the Laplace transform of the distribution of the claims that are reported. We also give asymptotic expressions for the mean value function and calculate the generating function in the case where the renewal process is a Poisson process. This matter is a part of the IBNR-problem in insurance mathematics.
