Cover Story: Contractual changes (e.g., lapse and paid-up) of policyholders affect the future cash flow profile of life insurers and, therefore, must be assessed by risk management carefully. Established statistical models estimate transition rates for each contractual option separately and manually. Thus, this time-consuming task is subjective and vulnerable to overfitting. A novel application based on the (multinomial) Lasso can replace this with an automated, data-driven approach that remains fully interpretable. Different variants are compared qualitatively and quantitatively by evaluating a real-world data set from a European insurer. View this paper
