Regime-switching shot-noise processes and longevity bond pricing [PDF]
Lithuanian Mathematical Journal, 2014 In this paper, we consider the valuation of longevity bonds under a regime-switching interest rate and a regimeswitching force of mortality model. The model assumes that the interest rate is driven by economic and environmental conditions described by a homogenous Markov chain and that the stochastic force of mortality is modeled by the sum of a regime-

The Role of Longevity-Indexed Bond in Risk Management of Aggregated Defined Benefit Pension Scheme
RisksDefined benefit (DB) pension plans are a primary type of pension schemes with the sponsor assuming most of the risks. Longevity-indexed bonds have been used to hedge or transfer risks in pension plans.

Journal of Risk and Insurance, 2018 AbstractWe introduce a multi‐cohort continuous time affine mortality model and, along with an affine arbitrage‐free term structure model, determine implied market prices of longevity risk in the BlackRock CoRI Retirement Indexes. These indexes provide a daily level of estimated cost of lifetime retirement income for 20 cohorts in the United States ...
