Description: This article looks at stochastic techniques actuaries can use to quantify the non-market risks in insurance products and how stochastic techniques can be used in the evaluation of reinsurance arrangements.

Description: This article describes the proposal selected for research involving the modeling of economic series. The proposal submitted by the research team of Kevin Ahlgrim of Bradley University, Stephen D'Arcy of the University of Illinios and Richard Gorvett of Zurich North America was selected.

Description: Summary of NAIC's Winter National Meeting

Description: This article describes the key elements of a review of an economic scenario generator (ESG), including scoping, parameters, models, and model efficiency.

Description: This article discusses scenario generators to price or value insurance products.

Description: Survey of appointed actuaries about asset adequacy testing techniques currently being used in 2012.

Description: Summary of the SOA research project on PBR Simplified Methods. Describes the multi-risk scenario generator, central estimate assumptions, assumption objectivity measures, and regulatory demonstrations per VM-20.

Description: With the adoption of the C-3 Phase 2 Project of the American Academy of Actuaries, it is now required that stochastic scenarios be developed for establishing reserves for variable annuities. This project has led to the idea of Principle-Based Reserving PBR where many of the same techniques will be used to set life insurance reserves. This article describes the choice of a Random Number Generator RNG to develop the random scenarios.
