Description: Discussion of three papers presented at Living to 100 and Beyond symposium. Papers discussed: Paper by Ken Faig on how the Social Security Administration's Master Death File can be used as a resource to investigate mortality at later ages, paper by Kestenbaum and Ferguson on how to improve the quality of the information available on old age mortality, and paper by Gallop on older age mortality in the UK derived from public pension data.

Description: Presented at Living to 100 symposium January 2002. This paper evaluates age and sex specific patterns of change in underlying and multiple cause of death reports for the period 1980-1998 for 14 leading causes of death at ages 65 and older. Changes in four types of mortality measures will be analyzed: 1 underlying cause death rates 2 multiple cause death rates 3 associated cause death rates and 4 death rates based on the joint occurrences of multiple cause conditions. Implications of the results are discussed in the context of existing models for analyzing and forecasting future mortality patterns in the U.S.

Description: Most, if not all, ERM frameworks recognize the added value that the quantification of risk brings to the overall risk management process. This paper discusses the need for the development of a quantification framework, which is a clear opportunity for the actuarial and mathematical communities. From 2006 Enterprise Risk Management Symposium, M-AS06-1.

Description: Part 3 proposes solutions to the third of three flaws of the current financial model to obtaining the fair value of the public sector employer’s pension benefit liability.

Description: 2011 Enterprise Risk Management Symposium, Chicago. This paper uses a case-study research design looking at two companies: Infosys and Rolls-Royce Corp. The goal of the research is to develop an explanation of how ERM brings about the strategic implications or its “promise” as it is popularly known in the ERM circle. The influential factors and how they are linked to the ERM process of achieving strategic implications are highlighted.

Description: Presented at Living to 100 Symposium, January 2011. This research studies coherent mortality modeling by combining a group of populations with similar period effects - e.g., mortality behaviors - in an effort to improve the stability of mortality modeling for older ages.
