Oppression‐based stressors, posttraumatic stress symptoms, and self‐injurious thoughts and behaviors among a national sample of queer adolescents of color

Journal of Traumatic Stress, EarlyView.
Abstract Oppression‐based stressors (OBS; e.g., heterosexism‐based stressors) are associated with a higher risk of trauma‐related symptoms and self‐injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITB) for queer (e.g., lesbian, gay, bisexual) adolescents. However, prior research has yet to examine posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and SITB in the context of the ...

Adoption of projected mortality table for the Slovenian market using the Poisson log-bilinear model to test the minimum standard for valuing life annuities [PDF]

Economic and Business Review, 2015
With the introduction of Solvency II a consistent market approach to the valuation of insurance assets and liabilities is required. For the best estimate of life annuity provisions one should estimate the longevity risk of the insured population in ...

A unified approach to mortality modelling using state-space framework: characterisation, identification, estimation and forecasting

, 2016
This paper explores and develops alternative statistical representations and estimation approaches for dynamic mortality models. The framework we adopt is to reinterpret popular mortality models such as the Lee-Carter class of models in a general state ...

A Comparison between General Population Mortality and Life Tables for Insurance in Mexico under Gender Proportion Inequality || Una comparación entre la mortalidad de la población general y las tablas de vida de los seguros en México ante porcentajes desiguales de género [PDF]

Revista de Métodos Cuantitativos para la Economía y la Empresa, 2013
We model the mortality behavior of the general population in Mexico using data from 1990 to 2009 and compare it to the mortality assumed in the tables used in Mexico for insured lives.
