NMAK19004U Advanced Topics in Modern Life Insurance
MSc Programme in Actuarial Mathematics
Selection of topics related to modeling, reserving, and pricing for life insurance and pensions with a strong connection to present research. Topics may include but are not limited to: policyholder behavior, state-wise projection of reserves, projection of balances in life insurance, risk-margin calculations, and market consistent valuation.
At the end of the course the student is expected to have:
Knowledge:
Knowledge about selected topics in modern life insurance
mathematics.
Skills:
Skills to formulate practical problems in life insurance
mathematics in a theoretical framework.
Skills to orally present the key aspects of the topics covered in
the course and to apply theory from the course.
Competences:
The course will strengthen the student's competences to
navigate inside the classic Markov life insurance setup and develop
the student's ability to formulate and handle new models inside
this setup.
The course literature will primarily consist of research papers from actuarial journals, which will be made available on Absalon.
Academic qualifications equivalent to a BSc degree is recommended.
