Mortality risk models have been developed to capture trends and common factors driving mortality improvement. Multiple … is necessary to take into account the richer age structure of mortality improvement from young ages to middle and then … mortality tables and has parameters that are interpreted according to age range and effect on rates.

This paper compares two methods for undertaking likelihood-based inference in dynamic equilibrium economies: a Sequential Monte Carlo filter proposed by Fernandez-Villaverde and Rubio-Ramirez (2004) and the Kalman filter. The Sequential Monte Carlo filter exploits the nonlinear structure of the...

Filtering methods are powerful tools to estimate the hidden state of a state-space model from observations available in real time. However, they are known to be highly sensitive to the presence of small misspecifications of the underlying model and to outliers in the observation process. In this...

Statistics Norway projects the population by age, sex and immigrant background at the national level. This paper examines the accuracy of the Norwegian population projections produced between 1996 and 2018. We assess deviations between projected and registered numbers, both for the total...

This paper evaluates the out-of-sample performance of two stochastic models used to forecast age specific mortality … are used to compare observed ex-post mortality rates to the forecasts generated by the models. Several functions of the … individual age-specific mortality rates are also entertained, including life expectancy at birth (e0), as well as alternative …

We propose new neighbouring prediction models for mortality forecasting. For each mortality rate at age x in year t …, denoted as mx,t, we construct images of neighbourhood mortality data around mx,t, i.e., ℇmx,t (x1, x2, s), which includes … mortality information for ages in [x − x1, x + x2], lagging k years (1 ≤ k ≤ s). Combined with the deep learning model …
