Description: Provides an in-depth review of Canadian occupational mortality and morbidity - disability - experience. This includes population and insured data up to 1981.

Description: There are many investigations probing the relationship between health outcomes [such as mortality rate, fertility rate] and economic variables [such as rise in income] and other variables [such as level of education, availability of clean water]. Usually, these results are demonstrated using data from countries where economic conditions are improving over time along with health outcomes. This paper studies the links between health risks and the current economic conditions in Mexico where general mortality conditions improved during the period 1980-2000 but income fell.

Description: In this paper the author proposes a proof for new formulas that derive exposure formulas of the valuation-schedule type on the basis of the Balducci assumption. In addition he provides a short cut for the coefficients of the terms involving deaths. Then he derives a general exposure formula of the valuation-schedule type that may be used for all mortality studies with an observation period covering an integral number of consecutive years. From ACTUARIAL RESEARCH CLEARING HOUSE, 1980 VOL. 2.

Description: Shows how to use personal information such as medical history, family characteristics, etc. in a logical statistical fashion for the purpose of modifying an existing mortality table to reflect the collected underwriting information.

Description: In this paper population mortality rates are used to explore the question of whether a biologically determined maximum age actually exists for the human species. From Actuarial Research Clearing House 1993, VOL. 3.

Description: The differences between select and ultimate insurance mortality are usually explained in terms of: 1. deterioration of a person's physical condition which occurs due to aging, and 2. anti-selection which occurs as some policyholders allow their coverage to lapse [i.e., those policyholders who find their health has become poor keep their coverage, while those who remain healthy discontinue their insurance]. This paper explores the differences in mortality between companies related to the differences in lapse rates of the companies.

Description: This paper reviews data from the accident study for years 1930-1935 to see if there are any relationships between disabled worker mortality and standard mortality that might endure to the present. From the Actuarial Research Clearing House ARCH 1990 Vol. 1.
