INAUGURAL CASE STUDY COMPETITION

In Fall of 2020, ASA hosted its very own actuarial case competition. Students in groups of 3-4 were asked to estimate the liabilities associated with all of a company’s workers compensation policies ever written, taking into consideration a catastrophic event that occurred at the company. The case focused on reserving and introduced concepts of IBNR, loss development, severity, and ultimate costs.

​

Students employed Excel and the presentation tool of their liking. Students were free to use other modeling and data analysis softwares to improve their final product.

​

In Fall 2021, the ASA hosted the second annual actuarial case competition which was now state-wide and featured 12 different teams from various Texas universities. This larger competition had significantly more presentations and was sponsored by the CAS, Markel, AON, and the ASA.
