In this paper a brief summary of the estimators for probability of death is given. Three estimators will be investigated, two of them are parametric ones. To derive a parametric estimator a distribution has to be assumed. Unfortunately the distributions occurring in real life differ from these...

Improving the ATM cash management techniques of banks has already received significant attention in the literature as a separate optimisation problem for banks and the independent firms that supply cash to automated teller machines. This article concentrates instead on a further possibility of...

We develop Integer Programming (IP) solutions for some special college admission problems arising from the Hungarian higher education admission scheme. We focus on four special features, namely the solution concept of stable score-limits, the presence of lower and common quotas, and paired...

In the paper, we investigate the pricing behavior of a risk averse monopoly. Since the focus is on the risk averse attitude of the firm, we ignore cost in our model. Demand is considered to be stochastic demand: as price decreases, the expected number of customers increases, but it has a...

In a two-sided matching market when agents on both sides have preferences the stability of the solution is typically the most important requirement. However, we may also face some distributional constraints with regard to the minimum number of assignees or the distribution of the assignees...

Our research is conducted to identify certain grouping of 24 European countries based on their death probabilities. Gathering 2014 data from Human Mortality Database our research objective was twofold. First, we wanted to find homogeneous groups of countries where mortality is similar and for a...

Bonus-malus system is an often used risk management tool in the insurance industry, and it is usually modeled with Markov chains. Under mild conditions it can be stated that the bonus-malus system converges to a unique stationary distribution in the long run. The maximum likelihood ratio...

This paper discusses the effects of sectoral structure on the long run macroeconomic inventory behaviour of national economies. Data on 15 OECD countries are included in the analysis, which is based on correlation and cluster analysis methodologies. The study is part of a long-term research...

Napjainkban a kormányzattól és a biztosítóktól kezdve a szolgáltatókig és a fogyasztókig mindenki az egészségügyi piaci versenyről beszél. De mit is értenek piaci versenyen? Vajon azonos dolgokról beszélnek-e? Mivel az egészségpolitika alakításában az egészségügy...
