  5. 14. Comparison of prices of life insurances using different mortality rates models

    Master-uppsats, Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för utbildning, kultur och kommunikation

    Författare :Belinda Straß; [2018]
    Nyckelord :Pricing life insurances; modelling mortality rate; logistic model; Heligmann– Pollard HP4; power–exponential model;

    Sammanfattning : Capturing mortality became a crucial modelling problem throughout the years due to the raising demand of life insurances and annuities. Fitting three models, namely, logistic, Heligman– Pollard HP4 and power–exponential model, to real life data shows that latter two models represent the actual data quite well. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Abstract Introduction: Smoking is a major public health concern, accounting for nearly 700,000 deaths on an annual basis, globally. The socio-economic differences within smoking are well established, reflected in a social gradient that is estimated to account for half of the socio- economic differences in mortality for men aged 35-69 years in developed settings, such as the European region.
