Endogenous education duration, fertility choice, and mortality : a framework for optimal population policy

Palokangas, Tapio K. - 2026

This paper characterizes optimal education and population policies within a continuous-time overlapping generations (OLG) framework where fertility, schooling duration, and health expenditures are endogenous. In this model, mortality risk is driven by a negative congestion effect from population...

The Jamaica life expectancy paradox and hookworm eradication

Preyer, Elisabeth; Strobl, Eric - 2026

Despite stagnant economic and living conditions, early 20th-century colonial Jamaica experienced a remarkable increase in life expectancy — a phenomenon referred to as the Jamaica Paradox. One factor believed to be key in this transformation was the Hookworm Campaign (1919-1936), an...

Impact of the longevity risk on permanent life annuity in the context of IFRS 17

Špirková, Jana; Zelinová, Silvia; Zimmermann, Pavel; … - 2026

Longevity risk - the risk that policyholders outlive expected mortality projections - poses a significant challenge to the financial sustainability of pension insurance. This paper investigates the valuation of permanent life annuities under IFRS 17, the accounting standard that fundamentally...

Welcome to the age of longevity capitalism

Dal Maso, Giulia - 2026

This essay coins and develops the concept of Longevity Capitalism, a biopolitical and financial regime in which both the condition of living longer and the pursuit of longevity are transformed into frontiers of accumulation. As financialisation extends into the domain of ageing, longevity - once...

Lebanon does not have a national mortality table that reflects its demographic and health conditions. Despite ongoing changes in mortality patterns driven by economic crises, political instability, and social changes, outdated foreign tables such as AM80 remain in use in the insurance and public...

Guaranteed annuity option under correlated and regime-switching risks

Grozen, Jude Martin B.; Mamon, Rogemar S. - 2026

Guaranteed annuity options (GAOs) allow policyholders to convert accumulated funds into life annuities at maturity at a guaranteed minimum rate. Thus, insurers are exposed to both investment and longevity risks. Accurate valuation of these long-term, survival-contingent contracts is essential...

Redistribution with unequal life expectancy

Jessen, Lasse J.; Köhne, Sebastian - 2026 - Original version: October 2023, this version: Januar 2026

Abstract We study life expectancy inequality in a Mirrleesian life-cycle framework. Life expectancy shapes the efficiency dimension of redistribution via the pension wedge. Moreover, cost- and preference-based channels arising from the income-lifespan gradient reduce the mechanical value of...
