In this paper we propose an approach to Asset Liability Management of various institutions, in particular insurance companies, based on a dual VaR constraint for the asset and the surplus. A key ingredient of this approach is a flexible modelling of the term structure of interest rates leading...

We consider a quadratic stochastic intensity model with a Gaussian autoregressive factor, derive explicit formulas for predictive mortality tables and recursive updating formulas are also provided. We also explain how to use appropriately the Kalman filter to estimate the parameters of the model...

In this paper the testing and estimation problems are discussed in the case of serial correlation. Various models are particular cases of the general framework considered: the nonlinear simultaneous equations models, the probit models, the tobit models, the disequilibrium models, the frontier...

A general framework for asymptotic tests is proposed. The framework contains as particular cases tests based on various estimation techniques: maximum likelihood methods, pseudo-maximum likelihood (PML) methods and quasi-generalized PML methods, <italic>m</italic>-estimation methods, moments or generalized...
