Description: This panel discussion session focused on the practical applications of risk theory.

Description: This paper analyzed the deficit risk that an insurer assumes when a group insurance contract is subject to a retrospective experience-rating arrangement. In this paper, a method for quantifying the deficit risk and determining explicitly an appropriate risk charge level is developed.

Description: This paper is an attempt to examine transmission and incubation period models. Results are used to estimate the risk of HIV+ exposure of an individual company and the resulting reserve needs. From Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1989, Vol. 41.

Description: This paper presents a statistical and mathematical method to calculate Stop-Loss Premiums. It also includes a discussion of the paper. From Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1976, Vol. 28.

Description: Presented at October 1985 Annual Meeting. This session focused on three projects funded by the Actuarial Education and Research Fund: risk models, operations research applications for actuaries and probability modeling of losses.

Description: This paper by the SOA Committee on HIV research builds on past work to show three projections of the future of the AIDS epidemic. These scenarios can provide information to actuaries in considering the financial impact of AIDS for life and health insurance. The paper develops general population AIDS mortality rates related to the three scenarios. From Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1990, Vol. 42.

Description: Presented at June 1985 Spring Meeting. This session presented the methods by which the E&E system strives to meet the educational needs of Canadian students, and allowed discussion as to whether the effort is successful and sufficient.

Description: This paper investigates the accuracy of loss reserves by comparing some reserves with the actual results five years hence. The ultimate purpose was to provide an estimate of the amount of variability which cannot be explained by listed factors. The resulting amount of variability gives an indication of the amount required for a provision for adverse deviation. From Actuarial Research Clearing House 1991, VOL. 1

Description: This article provides an an alternate, statistical approach, to graduation. Both single and multiple decrement models are considered and theoretical results are obtained for some specific mortality models. From: ACTUARIAL RESEARCH CLEARING HOUSE, 1979 VOL. 2.

Description: The purpose of this paper is to provide a survival analysis of persons in the various stages of HIV infection typically leading to AIDS and ultimately death. From Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1988, Vol. 40, Pt. 1.
