Modeling Excess Mortality and Interest Rates using Mixed Fractional Brownian Motions

Recent studies have identified long-range dependence as a key feature in the dynamics of both mortality and interest rates. Building on this insight, we develop a novel bi-variate stochastic framework based on mixed fractional Brownian motions to jointly model their long-memory behavior and instanta

A new paradigm of mortality modeling via individual vitality dynamics

The significance of mortality modeling extends across multiple research areas, ranging from life insurance valuation to optimal lifetime decision-making. Existing approaches, such as mortality laws and factor-based models, often fall short in capturing the complexity of individual mortality, hinderi

A Natural Hedging Framework for Longevity Risk with Graphical Risk Assessment

Natural hedging allows life insurers to manage longevity risk internally by offsetting the opposite exposures of life insurance and annuity liabilities. Although many studies have proposed natural hedging strategies under different settings, calibration methods, and mortality models, a unified frame
