Description: This note is labeled actuarial because it deals extensively with the force of interest, a concept which is characteristically of concern to the actuarial community. The authors’ personal point of view is that we should modify the basic definition of the compound interest.

Description: In estimating mortality rates from the experience of a life insurance company or employee-benefit plan, it is expedient, because of the movement into and out of the covered group on dates other than birthdays or policy anniversaries, to make some assumption about mortality over a fractional part of a year of age. This paper describes and develops the concept of 'exposure' with regard to the more commonly known methods of estimating the rate of mortality, and proposes a fourth methodology.

Description: List of registrants for the 1983 Actuarial Research Conference.

Description: The adjustment coefficient R plays an important role in mathematical ruin theory this paper presents several different methods for estimating the variance of R. Examples are given in which the variance is so high that the estimate of R must be considered essentially worthless and other means are sought for estimating ruin probabilities.

Description: In early 1989, the Society of Actuaries appointed a Task Force on Strengthening Relationships Between Universities and the Actuarial Profession. The charge of the Task Force was to explore the relationships between the actuarial profession and universities in the United States and Canada and recommend how they can be strengthened to the benefit of both the actuarial profession and the universities. This article summarizes the Task Force's recommendations that were approved by the Society of Actuaries Board of Governors. From Actuarial Research Clearing House, 1991 Vol. 1.

Description: In this paper we will describe how richer actuarial programs can be provided if a number of schools with smaller programs combine resources by forming a regional cooperative or consortium. We have already formed our own consortium, the Southwest Actuarial Education and Research Consortium SWAERC. The strategies proposed here have already been used in SWAERC, and we will illustrate each of them by describing our own experience with it.

Description: This paper analyzes climate change's impact on corn yield and insurance claims in Southern Minnesota through an analysis of how temperature and precipitation are expected to change over the next 30 years.
