Valuation of life insurance contracts using stochastic mortality rate and risk process modeling
Çetinkaya, Şirzat; Hayfavi, Azize; Department of Financial Mathematics (2007)
In life insurance contracts, actuaries generally value premiums using deterministic mortality rates and interest rates. They have ignored them stochastically in most of the studies. However it is known that neither interest rates nor mortality rates are constant. It is also known that companies may encounter insolvency problems such as ruin, so the ruin probability need to be added to the valuation of the life insurance contracts process. Insurance companies should model their surplus processes to price som...

In this thesis, the impact of various risk measures on pricing methodology of automobile insurance product by using the historical claim data which is obtained from one of the most reputable insurance company in Turkey is investigated. To model the distribution of claim experience for pricing methodology, four right skewed distributions are chosen, namely Gamma, Weibull, Lognormal and Pareto. Two classical methods, which are methods of moment estimation and maximum likelihood estimation, are used to estimat...
Macroeconomic Policy and Unemployment by Economic Activity: Evidence from Turkey
BERUMENT, MAHMUT HAKAN; DOĞAN, NÜKHET; Tansel, Aysıt (2009-05-01)
This paper investigates how various macroeconomic policy shocks in Turkey affect unemployment and provides evidence on the differential responses of unemployment in selected sectors of economic activity. Our paper extends previous work in two respects. First, we consider not only the response of total unemployment, but also the response of unemployment by selected sectors of economic activity. Second, we consider not only the effect of monetary policy shocks, but also the effects of several other macroecono...
