Description: This paper presents a model is which can be used for certain annuities when interest rates and future lifetimes are random. These can be used in determining contingency reserves for possible adverse interest and mortality experience for collections of life annuity contracts. Certain boundary crossing probabilities for the stochastic process component of the model are obtained. From Actuarial Research Clearing House 1991, VOL. 1.

Description: ['he purpose of this paper is to describe a possible Old-Age Social Security Program for Bangladesh, with financial projections through the year 2025.

Description: The purpose of this paper is to discuss some of the undergraduate research in actuarial science at Ball State University. Abstracts of 23 honors theses, with brief comments about the students' careers, are given. Common characteristics of the theses are described. Helpful techniques for advising thesis writing students are provided. From Actuarial Research Clearing House 1996, Vol. 1.

Description: Demography is a very exciting subject. With a simple mathematical model, students can project a country's population forward 25, 59, 75 even 100 years. This paper will focus on six ideas from demography. They all can be useful to an actuary, yet none of them would be considered at any length if the actuary didn’t study demography.

Description: This paper restates formulae from three textbooks for the Society of Actuaries Course 161 examination which do not use the same set of notation into a common notation. From the Actuarial Research Clearing House 1989, Vol. 2. From the Actuarial Research Clearing House ARCH 1989 Vol. 2.

Description: The purpose of this paper is to explain several actuarial-demographic-statistical techniques and show their application in medical investigations. Actuarial Research Clearing House 1979, VOL. 1

Description: In ARCH 1977.1, the following problem appeared. Problem 11, submitted by John A. Beekman. Use demographic techniques to approximate the effects on India's population cause by recent provincial laws limiting family size. This paper is the solution to the problem by Md. Humayun Kabir.

Description: In this paper several probability models for the random amounts of needed long-term care are explained, and one model is used to provide an alternate premium calculation method for certain long-term care coverages. From Actuarial Research Clearing House 1990, VOL. 2.

Description: This article presents the needed mathematical techniques and obtains values for active life expectancies in which dependent lives are followed after regaining independence. Secondly, projections of active life expectancies are developed to the year 2080, under three sets of assumptions, for 65 year old men and women. Finally, estimates of the average numbers of years of dependency in ADL prior to death of 65 year old men and women are provided under alternate sets of assumptions. From the Actuarial Research Clearing House 1991 VOL. 2.

Description: The initial risk reserves in collective risk models vary according to the underlying claim distribution, and a suitable level of ruin probability. A thorough analysis of the needed initial surplus for various ruin probability levels is provided in eight meaningful examples. The claim distributions are drawn from various fields of insurance, including property damage and liability insurance.
