Description: Often an investor is offered an annuity for a fixed purchase price. The computation of the yield rate implied by this transaction must presently be computed by an iteration scheme, usually on a computer. With reasonable parameters, the problem of determining the yield rate can be readily solved with a desk calculator. From the Actuarial Research Clearing House 1982, Vol.1.

Description: The minimum distance estimator proposed allows for the selection of the best fitting family member without prior distributional assumptions. It is shown that this estimator is consistent and can be made either robust or asymptotically efficient. Its asymptotic distribution is derived and and illustrated with automobile insurance data.

Description: In this paper, a general multivariate duration analysis is introduced that does not depend on a mathematical formulation of the way in which a yield curve moves. Consequently, complete price sensitivity information is derived which is equally applicable in all yield curve environments. In addition, this model is practical and relatively easy to apply.
