Description: Our panel discusses research conducted by the SOA's committee on post-retirement needs and risks current trends in retirement, including phased and partial retirement special issues for different types of industries and employers and pension and health benefit design issues surrounding phased retirement. From the Record of the Society of Actuaries, Volume 29, No. 3, Session 10pd.

Description: This paper describes the nature of a multimedia computer-based colloquium and demonstrates how the technology can be used within an actuarial science instruction setting and describes the steps taken to ease the transition into this environment. From the Actuarial Research Clearing House 1992 Vol. 1 .

Description: This article focuses on conceptualizing machine learning concepts.

Description: The note begins with a short overview of key characteristics of a modern tontine. This is followed by a representation of a tontine flowchart that explicitly displays the components of a tontine and their relationships. The remainder of the note discusses the specifics of those components, including: the valuation and buy-in module, the active life test, settlement options, and periodic payments.

Description: A mathematical framework for benefits and choices must be created, in order to model flexible benefit selection. This paper creates such a framework by defining benefit plans as reimbursement functions. These are then used with a defined choice function to calculate the cost deviation due to selection. From Actuarial Research Clearing House 1992, VOL. 1.

Description: This paper is a sequel to Shapiro et. al. in that it discusses a similar role for CAI in topics specific to the text Actuarial Mathematics, by Bowers et. al 1986. The topics covered are the previous topics of actuarial notation, basic concepts, and what-if analysis, along with some new ideas for the presentation of stochastic models.

Description: This introduction is followed by an overview of RA, which includes such things as the role of RA in ERM, the conceptualization of RA, and the role of FL as it relates to RA. We turn then to an overview of the FL methodology used in this study. The next three chapters are devoted to FL methodology as it relates to RA issues, and includes a discussion of FL modification of the risk matrix, FL modification of the Analytic Hierarchy Process, and the role of fuzzy optimization as it relates to RA. We turn then to examples of RAA-FL in the areas of operational risk, hazard risk, financial risk and strategic risk. This is followed by closing comments and observations. The study concludes with an annotated bibliography.
