The majority of work in mortality modeling involves factor-based approaches, with little use of information on the determinants and interpretable risk factors of mortality. At the same time, in the demographic community, there has been a lack of research attention towards the study of mortality...

At present, academic actuarial research involving the mortality modeling of multiple populations mainly focuses on factor-based approaches. This comes with little attention to interpretable models of mortality that take patterns across space into consideration. To address this, we propose a...

This study investigates the short-term mortality effects of two age-based restrictions on legal access to alcohol in Germany. We exploit sharp differences in legal access to alcohol at 16 and 18 years by implementing a regression discontinuity design. We find discontinuous increases in deaths at...

The authors model COVID infections and COVID deaths, both reported and implied, for the 50 U.S. states as well as the District of Columbia, and separately for a sample of 33 countries, as a function of pre-existing circumstances that citizens have no ability to control over the short term. These...

Objective: To estimate the cost-effectiveness of the supply of calcium of 1200mg per day from the week 14 of pregnancy to all pregnant women compared to not supplying it to reduce the incidence of preeclampsia. Methods: A decision tree was built in TreeAge® with outcome measured in life years...

inflexible. To address these problems, we aim to determine and build an appropriate copula dependence model for HIV/AIDS against … other causes of death in the presence of age, gender, and time. A bivariate copula model is proposed to capture the …

This paper studies the dependence between coupled lives, i.e., the spouses' dependence, across different generations, and its effects on prices of reversionary annuities in the presence of longevity risk. Longevity risk is represented via a stochastic mortality intensity. We find that a...
