Misspecification Tests for Log-Normal and Over-Dispersed Poisson Chain-Ladder Models

Despite the widespread use of chain-ladder models, so far no theory was available to test for model specification. The popular over-dispersed Poisson model assumes that the over-dispersion is common across the data. A further assumption is that accident year effects do not vary across development ye...
