Description: This people provides a derivation of continuous and curtate inequalities of life contingent functions and shows how the proofs of the continuous inequalities are of an entirely different nature from the usual proofs for the curtate inequalities Followed by discussion papers submitted by several authors

Description: This paper develops explicit relationships connecting these reserve bases, and, in the course of this development, derives several new and interesting actuarial relationships, all of which can be generalized to the case of monthly premium payment computations. Followed by a discussion paper submitted

Description: This paper develops the theoretical formula for the face amount under the New York Life variable life insurance design, introduced in the paper 'Analysis of Basic Actuarial Theory for Fixed Premium Variable Benefit Life Insurance,' adapted to a daily basis and also provides a simplified approximation of this formula. A formula for daily net premium is also derived.

Description: The purpose of this paper was to describe some of the actuarial aspects of one company's electronic system and to discuss the underlying analyses and comparison of alternatives that led to the selection of particular electronic procedures to solve certain actuarial problems. Followed by several discussion papers submitted

Description: This paper presents a model designed to help actuaries analyze and quantify C3 risk, which is the risk of loss due to changes in interest rates or the shape of the yield curve.

Description: This paper shows how actuarial pricing based on the mathematical concept of present value can be formulated and solved using Markov chains and an approach borrowed from engineering mathematics called ballistic control theory.

Description: This paper reviews recursive formulas for aggregate claim distributions. Followed by a submitted discussion paper

Description: The paper describes an approach for determining reserves for reinsurance accepted for use in financial statements prepared according to generally accepted accounting principles. Followed by a discussion paper submitted

Description: Public Law 93-445 provided for a complete restructuring of the railroad retirement system. This paper discusses 2 of the issues/problems underlying the need for the restructuring. These were 1 concurrent social security benefits paid to railroad annuitants 2 the approach used to increase benefits to keep up with inflation. Also a discussion of the basic achievement of the new law, which was to create a two-tiered benefit structure. Followed by 2 discussion papers submitted

Description: The primary purpose of this paper is to present an alternative method of determining the profitability of the premium for a return of premium benefit through the use of a limited simulation program. Also discussed are necessary reserves for a return of premium benefit. From Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1973, Vol. 25, Pt. 1, No. 73.
