Variability in temperature-related mortality projections under climate change. [PDF]

open access: yesEnviron Health Perspect, 2014
Background: Most studies that have assessed impacts on mortality of future temperature increases have relied on a small number of simulations and have not addressed the variability and sources of uncertainty in their mortality projections. Objectives: We

Temperature-attributable mortality projections under scenarios of climate change for Oslo, Norway [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Public Health
Background & Aim Climate change and evolving of population dynamics, including ageing and changes in population size, are reshaping temperature-attributable mortality patterns. However, there is limited evidence on the prospective trajectory of heat- and

Projections of global mortality and burden of disease from 2002 to 2030.

open access: yesPLoS Medicine, 2006
BackgroundGlobal and regional projections of mortality and burden of disease by cause for the years 2000, 2010, and 2030 were published by Murray and Lopez in 1996 as part of the Global Burden of Disease project.

Life Expectancy Changes and Their Consequences for Pension System in Finland and the Czech Republic [PDF]

open access: yesStatistika: Statistics and Economy Journal, 2023
Finland and the Czech Republic are among the countries where population ageing has been the most pronounced in the last decade. The aim of the paper is to describe future development of life expectancy in the context of pension system reforms that are ...

Bayesian Mixture Modelling for Mortality Projection [PDF]

open access: yesRisks, 2021
Although a large number of mortality projection models have been proposed in the literature, relatively little attention has been paid to a formal assessment of the effect of model uncertainty. In this paper, we construct a Bayesian framework for embedding more than one mortality projection model and utilise the finite mixture model concept to allow ...

Bayesian Poisson log-bilinear mortality projections [PDF]

open access: yesInsurance: Mathematics and Economics, 2005
Mortality projections are major concerns for public policy, social security and private insurance. This paper implements a Bayesian log-bilinear Poisson regression model to forecast mortality. Computations are carried out using Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods in which the degree of smoothing is learnt from the data.

Disruption of Life Insurance Profitability in the Aftermath of the COVID-19 Pandemic

open access: yesRisks, 2022
Life insurance profitability depends on reliable mortality risk projections and pricing. While the COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruptions around the world, this is a temporary mortality shock likely to dissipate.

A New Class of Counting Distributions Embedded in the Lee–Carter Model for Mortality Projections: A Bayesian Approach

open access: yesRisks, 2022
The Lee–Carter model, the dominant mortality projection modeling in the literature, was criticized for its homoscedastic error assumption. This was corrected in extensions to the model based on the assumption that the number of deaths follows Poisson or ...
