Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - The Pricing of mortality-linked contingent claims : an equilibrium approach

Notas: Sumario: This study introduces an equilibrium approach to price mortality-linked securities in a discrete time economy, assuming that the mortality rate has a transformed normal distribution. This pricing method complements current studies on the valuation of mortality-linked securities, which only have discrete trading opportunities and insufficient market trading data. Like the Wang transform, the valuation relationship is still risk-neutral (preference-free) and the mortality-linked security is priced as the expected value of its terminal payoff, discounted by the risk-free rate. This study provides an example of pricing the Swiss Re mortality bond issued in 2003 and obtains an approximated closed-form solution.Registros relacionados: En: Astin bulletin. - Belgium : ASTIN and AFIR Sections of the International Actuarial Association = ISSN 0515-0361. - 08/07/2013 Volumen 43 Número 2 - julio 2013 Otras clasificaciones: 6
