Abstract

Este trabajo presenta una aproximación metodológica basada en el concepto de valor en riesgo operativo (VaRop) para la estimación de las pérdidas económicas máximas esperadas por el hurto de vehículos asegurados en Colombia, desagregado por empresa aseguradora y para las principales ciudades del país. También se estima la pérdida patrimonial para propietarios cuyos vehículos no están asegurados. Para el primer propósito, se identificaron las distribuciones de probabilidad asociadas a las series de hurtos tanto para la frecuencia como para la pérdida económica mensual, las cuales fueron agregadas mediante un proceso de simulación Montecarlo. Para la pérdida patrimonial se planteó un modelo multidimensional para cuantificar la distribución del detrimento patrimonial, la cual incorpora cinco distribuciones de probabilidad en un proceso de simulación Montecarlo. El estudio evidencia la gravedad del problema del robo de vehículos en Colombia, con unas pérdidas económicas máximas para las aseguradoras de $9.130,0 millones/mes y un detrimento patrimonial para los ciudadanos del orden de $16.458,0 millones/mes; además, refleja la baja cultura del seguro en el país donde solo el 28,16% del parque automotor está cubierto por companías aseguradoras. ***** This paper presents a methodological approach based on the Value at Operational Risk (VaRop) concept in order to quantify the maximum economic loss expected for the theft of insured vehicles in Colombia disaggregated by insurance company and for major cities. The financial loss to owners whose vehicles are not insured is also estimated. To do this, we identified the probability distributions associated to the series of thefts both in terms of frequency and monthly financial loss, which were aggregated using a Monte Carlo simulation process, it permit estimate the operational VaR or maximum probable loss at 95%. For the equity loss, a multidimensional model was proposed for the Distribution of Wealth Quantify Detriment incorporating five probability distributions in a Montecarlo simulation process. The study highlights the grave problem of vehicle theft in Colombia. There is a maximum economic loss for insurers of $9,130.0 million/month and a capital expense for citizens in the order of $16,458.0 mill/month. There is also a low insurance culture: only the 28.16% of the stolen vehicles are insured.
