We introduce an additive stochastic mortality model which allows joint modelling and forecasting of underlying death … causes. Parameter families for mortality trends can be chosen freely. As model settings become high dimensional, Markov chain … risk model CreditRisk+. This allows exact risk aggregation via an efficient numerically stable Panjer recursion algorithm …

This paper investigates the effects of risk aversion on portfolio choices in terms of life insurance purchase and risky … asset investment. The theoretical results show that households with very low degree of risk aversion allocate all of their … investments to risky assets and have little desire to buy life insurance and risk-free bonds. When the degree of risk aversion …

risk measures for portfolios with infrequently traded securities have not been explored in the literature. We propose a … methodology to calculate market risk measures based on the Kalman filter which can be used on incomplete datasets. We implement … applied to other markets with thinly traded securities. Our methodology provides reliable market risk measures in portfolios …
