Premium rate for an insurance policy is often reviewed and updated periodically according to past claim experience in real-life. In this paper, a dynamic premium strategy that depends on the past claim experience is proposed under the discrete-time risk model. The Gerber-Shiu function is analyzed under this model. The marketing implications of the dynamic premium strategy will also be discussed.

Keywords: Dynamic premium, discrete-time risk model, Gerber-Shiu function, geometric claims, marketing implications.
