Abstract
The total claims distribution over a fixed period of time with time dependent claim amounts is considered. A representation for the associated density function is found under certain conditions, including the important case with Poisson or mixed Poisson claim number processes and constant inflation. Methods of evaluation of this density are considered, and the cases with exponential claim sizes and regular variation of the tail are discussed in more detail.
