High spatial resolution dataset of La Mobiliere insurance customers

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Emanuele Massaro

We present the La Mobiliere insurance customers dataset: a 12-year-long longitudinal collection of data on policies of customers of the Swiss insurance company La Mobiliere. To preserve the privacy of La Mobiliere customers, we propose the data aggregated ...
