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 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: The net premium for insurance for expected loss in excess of a retention limit may be small, but the resulting variance of excess losses produces a standard deviation several times that of the premium. The purpose of this paper is to give a derivation and evaluation of the standard deviation of the excess losses.

Description: 1995 Valuation Actuary Symposium. In this session panelists discussed how cash-flow testing models can be used to provide significant Asset/Liability Management information, making the transition from cash-flow testing to ALM, definitions of ALM, the key assumptions in ALM, and evaluating results.

Description: Panelists of this teaching session discuss: [1] policyholder and company behavior and its impact on model and assumptions, [2] model purpose and structure, data collection, and behavior models, and [3] the modeling process, including objectives, considerations, constraints, and validation. Session 10 of the 1996 Valuation Actuary Symposium.

Description: This session at the 1998 Valuation Actuary Symposium discusses issues related to variable and fixed deferred annuity modeling.

Description: 1998 Valuation Actuary Symposium. The panelists addressed the practical implications of how to use value-at-risk in a real-life setting, risk-based surplus, and an update of the C-3 component of RBC. This session is a mix between the regulatory situation and quantitative analysis.

Description: This paper shows the mortality element can be partially isolated allowing an exact annuity value to be readily obtained at any interest rate. From the Actuarial Research Clearing House 1979, Vol.2.

Description: Abstracts of various papers published in ARCH 1983 Vol. 1

Description: The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the method of Lagrange multipliers complete with simple examples. The author suggests that this methodology is ideally suited to the investigation of minimum variance plans. From the Actuarial Research Clearing House 1987 Vol. 1.
