Solvency 2 cost of capital model
Multi-period Ins Co. model as a chaining of one-period models with a recap option; difference between new business and reserves (can lower capital adequacy for reserves)

This section summarizes some other approaches to multi-period pricing found in the literature. The examples underscore the complexity of a general “technically correct” solution. The (relatively) simple policy to buy a policy approach provides insight into the value of information.
