Welfare consequences of the compound risks of index insurance
Journal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.Abstract Index insurance is an attractive variant on the standard insurance contract that allows the determination of a loss event to be defined by one or more thresholds on an index that is positively correlated with actual losses. Index insurance also comes with a compound risk, basis risk.

Journal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.Abstract Index insurance lowers agricultural risk but covers only covariate risks. Since farmers do not have complete insurance, they may develop mistrust of insurance when experiencing crop losses and not receiving payouts. Although recent innovations in remote sensing enable the provision of more complete insurance including coverage for ...

Change Point Analysis for Functional Data Using Empirical Characteristic Functionals
Journal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We develop a new method to detect change points in the distribution of functional data based on integrated CUSUM processes of empirical characteristic functionals. Asymptotic results are presented under conditions allowing for low‐order moments and serial dependence in the data establishing the limiting null‐distribution of the proposed test ...

Gender convergence in human survival and the postponement of death [PDF]
, 2012 It has been a long accepted demographic maxim that females outlive males. Using data for England and Wales, we show that life expectancy at age 30 is converging and continuation of this long-term trend suggests it could reach parity in 2030.

Skyfall: A Survival Analysis of the IMF Executive Board Members
Kyklos, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In the absence of a retirement age constraint at the IMF, this study explores the tenure persistence within the Board of Directors of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) from 2009 to 2021, through a survival analysis. The findings highlight that extrinsic factors, namely sovereign crises, banking crises, the ratio of debt‐to‐GDP, and ...

Are the dimensions of private information more multiple than expected? Information asymmetries in the market of supplementary private health insurance in England [PDF]
, 2012 Our study reexamines standard econometric approaches for the detection of information asymmetries on insurance markets. We claim that evidence based on a standard framework with 2 equations, which uses potential sources of information asymmetries, should

Robust Λ$\Lambda$‐Quantiles and Extremal Distributions
Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this paper, we investigate the robust models for Λ$\Lambda$‐quantiles with partial information regarding the loss distribution, where Λ$\Lambda$‐quantiles extend the classical quantiles by replacing the fixed probability level with a probability/loss function Λ$\Lambda$.
