Cross‐Prudence and Optimal Prevention
ABSTRACT In this paper, we study optimal prevention in the presence of a correlated nonfinancial background risk. Under positive correlation, cross‐prudence in the nonfinancial attribute reduces optimal prevention. We establish this result in the most direct extension of the standard prevention problem with binary marginal distributions and show that ...

We develop a dynamic life‐cycle model with endogenous education, labor supply, marriage, fertility, and welfare participation. Preferences are fixed across cohorts and race/ethnic groups; changes arise from family background, labor‐market opportunities, and ...

Goodness‐of‐Fit Tests for Positive Quadrant Dependence
Summary When two random variables are positive quadrant dependent (PQD), they are more likely to assume small (or large) values simultaneously compared with when the random variables are independent. This dependence structure is of interest in many areas, including finance, actuarial science and engineering.

Clustering All‐Cause Mortality Data: A Review
Summary Mortality data are relevant to demography, public health and actuarial science; such data are high‐dimensional, making broad patterns difficult to identify. Clustering is increasingly used to reveal such patterns, yet a review of its application to all‐cause mortality with a focus on country‐level data is lacking.
