One-Year Value-At-Risk For Longevity And Mortality
نویسندگان
چکیده
Upcoming new regulation on regulatory required solvency capital for insurers will be predominantly based on a one-year Value-at-Risk measure. This measure aims at covering the risk of the variation in the projection year as well as the risk of changes in the best estimate projection for future years. This paper addresses the issue how to determine this Value-at-Risk for longevity and mortality risk. Naturally this requires stochastic mortality rates. The last decennium a vast literature on stochastic mortality models has been developed. However, very few of them are suitable for determining the one-year value-at-risk. This requires a model for mortality trends instead of mortality rates. Therefore, we will introduce a stochastic mortality trend model that fits this purpose. The model is transparent, easy to interpret and based on well known concepts in stochastic mortality modeling. Additionally, we introduce an approximation method based on duration and convexity concepts to apply the stochastic mortality rates to specific insurance portfolios.

Analysis of the Solvency II Standard Model Approach to Longevity Risk
In general, the capital requirement under Solvency II is determined as the 99.5% Value-at-Risk of the Available Capital. In the standard model’s longevity risk module, this Value-at-Risk is approximated by the change in Net Asset Value due to a pre-specified longevity shock which assumes a 25% reduction of mortality rates for all ages. We analyze the adequacy of this shock by comparing the resu...

Monthly length frequency data of banana shrimp, Penaeus merguiensis were collected from the coastal waters of North east Persian Gulf, from January 2012 to January 2013. Software package FiSAT was used to analyze the length frequency data. Growth parameters, mortalities, exploitation rate and recruitment pattern were estimated from the carapace length in the area. Based on length – weight relat...

Objective: Very low birth weight(VLBW) babies constitute approximately 4%-7% of all live births and the mortality in this subgroup is high, contributing to as much as 30% of early neonatal deaths. Some scoring system like the Clinical Risk Index for Babies(CRIB) Score and the Score for Neonatal Acute Physiology (SNAP), for assessing the risk of mortality frequently utilized in newborns....

The population parameters of Encrasicholina punctifer (Buccaneer anchovy) from commercial fishery in the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea coastal waters were studied from October 2014 to September 2015. A total of 13951 length-frequency data collected monthly by pair-boat purse seine and beach seine methods. The asymptotic length (L∞) and Von Bertalanffy growth function (K) were 11.5 cm and K = 1.4 pe...
