چکیده
This paper presents a dynamic method to estimate fair value insurance liabilities for the whole book (with separate but correlated lines) of business. The model studies the aggregate liability without assuming independence of individual losses. A non-traditional aI)proach is proposed which estimates the fair wdue liability based on a st,)ehas/ic model of individual losses. Using the contingent claim analysis, the fair value liability are approximated by solving a partial differential equ~ttion. Paralneters estimation, correlations lneasurement and ap-plic~ttions of tile model are also discussed in the study C,,mt~alisons of the proposed method to tile existing methods arc given fi)r application purpose.

SOME COMPUTATIONAL RESULTS FOR THE FUZZY RANDOM VALUE OF LIFE ACTUARIAL LIABILITIES
The concept of fuzzy random variable has been applied in several papers to model the present value of life insurance liabilities. It allows the fuzzy uncertainty of the interest rate and the probabilistic behaviour of mortality to be used throughout the valuation process without any loss of information. Using this framework, and considering a triangular interest rate, this paper develops closed...

We have experienced the valuation method for more than one decade, both as a pricing procedure applied to policy portfolios of leading insurance companies, and by including the valuation principles into seve...
متن کاملLife insurance liabilities at market value
This paper takes a contingent claim approach to the market valuation of equity and liabilities in life insurance companies. A model is presented which explicitly takes into account the facts that the holders of life insurance contracts (LICs) have the first claim on the company’s assets whereas equityholders have limited liability, that interest rate guarantees are common elements of LICs, and ...
