This concise introduction to life contingencies, the theory behind the actuarial work around life insurance and pension funds, will appeal to the reader who likes applied mathematics. In addition to model of life contingencies, the theory of compound interest is explained and it is shown how...

In this paper we investigate the potential of Lévy copulas as a tool for modelling dependence between compound Poisson processes and their applications in insurance. We analyse characteristics regarding the dependence in frequency and dependence in severity allowed by various Lévy copula...
