Seasonal mortality and its application in life insurance
Srnáková, Andrea ; Cipra, Tomáš (advisor) ; Zichová, Jitka (referee)
Assumptions like uniform distribution, constant force of mortality and the Balducci assumption frequently used for modeling mortality data do not reflect the variability of monthly death rates. Often a phenomenon of winter excess mortality occurs, which is not respected by these assumptions. We shall apply a seasonal mortality assumption, which uses non-negative trigonometric sums for modeling the distribution of monthly death rates. We then apply our findings to the Czech mortality data. We calculate monthly premiums in a short-term life insurance policy and compare the result with results given by the classical assumptions. 1
Seasonal mortality
Hrušková, Eliška ; Kačerová, Eva (advisor) ; Brom, Ondřej (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the seasonality of mortality in the Czech Republic since the end of the 17th century to the present. In the theoretical part the used demographic terms and data sources are cleared up. The analytical part focuses on the development of mortality with a focus on seasonality. Emphasis is then placed on the period after 1989, and the differences in seasonal trends by cause of death. Further, the thesis is comparing the seasonality of mortality in the Czech Republic and Spain, where the two states were chosen for their different geographic location.
