Premiums and benefits associated with traditional life insurance contracts are usually specified as fixed amounts in policy conditions. However, reserve-dependent surrender values and reserve-dependent expenses are common in insurance practice. The famous Cantelli theorem in life insurance...

We study a classical continuous-time consumption-investment problem of a power utility investor with deterministic labor income with the important feature that the consumption-investment process is constrained to be deterministic. This is motivated by the design of modern pension schemes of...

Premiums and benefi ts associated with traditional life insurance contracts are usually specifi ed as fi xed amounts in policy conditions. However, reserve-dependent surrender values and reserve-dependent expenses are common in insurance practice. The famous Cantelli theorem in life insurance...

We derive worst-case scenarios in the case where the interest rate and the various transition intensities in a life insurance model are mutually dependent. Examples of this dependence are that surrender intensities and interest rates are high at the same time, that mortality intensities of a...

Forward transition rates were originally introduced with the aim to evaluate life insurance liabilities market-consistently. While this idea turned out to have its limitations, recent literature repurposes forward transition rates as a tool for avoiding Markov assumptions in the calculation of...

The information dynamics in finance and insurance applications is usually modelled by a filtration. This paper looks at situations where information restrictions apply so that the information dynamics may become non-monotone. A fundamental tool for calculating and managing risks in finance and...

Almost all life and health insurance models in the actuarial literature use either a Markov assumption or a semi-Markov assumption. This paper shows that non-Markov modelling is also feasible and presents suitable numerical and statistical tools for the calculation of prospective and...
