In a recent paper "Stochastic Chain-Ladder Reserving with Modeled General Inflation", the effects of modeled general inflation on non-life claims reserving were studied using, along with the so called "market approach", a stochastic two-factor market model, characterized by deterministic...

We consider two possible approaches to the problem of incorporating explicit general (i.e., economic) inflation in the non-life claims reserve estimates and the corresponding reserve SCR, defined - as in Solvency II - under the one-year view. What we call the actuarial approach provides a...

The purpose of this study is to examine the time-frequency relationship in the Fisher's effect for South African Customs Union (SACU) countries using continuous wavelet transforms. We use the Wavelet power spectrum to decompose the nominal interest rate and inflation rate across a time frequency...

We show that negative interest rate policy (NIRP) has expansionary effects on bank credit supply and firm outcomes through a portfolio rebalancing channel. For identification, we exploit ECB's NIRP and credit register, firm- and bank-level datasets. NIRP affects relatively more banks with higher...
