Prizes, Awards and Grants

Hachemeister Prize

This prize was established in 1993 in recognition of Charles A. Hachemeister's many contributions to Actuarial Studies in Non-Life Insurance (ASTIN) and his efforts to establish a closer relationship between the Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) and ASTIN.

Papers eligible for the prize include articles, workshop articles, and/or invited papers published in the ASTIN Bulletin, in addition to papers and Speakers' Corner papers presented at the ASTIN or AFIR/ERM Colloquium, in the calendar year prior to the prize award. Papers presented at an International Actuarial Association (IAA) Congress are also eligible for this award.

Papers will be judged by a specifically appointed committee of the CAS. Emphasis will be placed on the paper's impact for North American actuaries and practicality of application. The committee's decision will be final.
