We propose new neighbouring prediction models for mortality forecasting. For each mortality rate at age x in year t, denoted as mx,t, we construct images of neighbourhood mortality data around mx,t, i.e., ℇmx,t (x1, x2, s), which includes mortality information for ages in [x − x1, x + x2],...

Borrowing information from populations with similar structural mortality patterns and trajectories has been well recognized as a useful strategy for the mortality forecasting of a target population. This paper presents a flexible framework for the selection of populations from a given candidate...

This paper proposes an optimal dynamic strategy for hedging longevity risk in a discrete-time setting. Our proposed hedging strategy relies on standardized mortality-linked securities and minimizes the variance of the hedging error as induced by the population basis risk. While the formulation...
