MAP20130031453Lifecycle portfolio choice with systematic longevity risk and variable investment - Linked deferred annuities / Raimond Maurer...[et.al]Sumario: This article assesses the impact of variable investment-linked deferred annuities (VILDAs) on lifecycle consumption and portfolio allocation, allowing for systematic longevity risk. Under a self-insurance strategy, insurers set premiums to reduce the chance that benefits paid exceed provider reserves. Under a participating approach, the provider avoids taking systematic longevity risk by adjusting benefits in response to unanticipated mortality shocks. Young households with participating annuities average one-third higher excess consumption, while 80-year-olds increase consumption about 75 percent. Many households would prefer to participate in systematic longevity risk unless insurers can hedge it at a very low priceEn: The Journal of risk and insurance. - Nueva York : The American Risk and Insurance Association, 1964- = ISSN 0022-4367. - 02/09/2013 Volumen 80 Número 3 - septiembre 2013
