Millossovich: Seminar at the Dept. of Economics, University Ca' Foscari of Venice
by Marco Corazza 16 Dec '14

16 Dec '14

Dear all, the Department of Economics, University Ca' Foscari of Venice, invite you to the seminar: ********************************************** Speaker: Pietro Millossovich (City University London, UK) ********************************************** Where/When: Room E, Dept. of Economics, San Giobe 873/b, Venice December 22/2014, 2.00pm ********************************************** Title: Two Populations Stochastic Mortality Models and Longevity Basis Risk ********************************************** Abstract: Longevity swaps provide an alternative de-risking solution for pension funds and life offices which has been gaining popularity in the recent years. While most swaps contracted so far are bespoke, an efficient market solution would require the hedging instrument to be standardized and based on a publicly available mortality index. In this case, it is crucial for the risk hedger to assess the extent of the basis risk left, which ultimately amounts to the difference between the book and the index mortality experiences. To this end, a two population mortality forecasting model is required. In this presentation, we address the choice of the most appropriate multi population mortality model basis risk assessment, discussing in particular the constraint due to the limited size of many existing pension books.

seminario al CNR-IMATI
by Antonella Bodini 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

Si ricorda che venerdi' 19 dicembre alle ore 11 presso la sede di Milano dell'IMATI, via Bassini 15, nella sala pentagonale al secondo piano, Ting WANG (University of Otago, New Zealand) terra' il seminario *Modelling of seismic activity using Markov-modulated Hawkes process and its extensions* Earthquakes are processes in which the internal workings are only observed indirectly, although the final effects are all too observable! Hidden Markov models (HMMs, a general statistical framework for modelling partially observed systems) are an intuitively attractive idea for analysing seismicity. I will introduce the Markov-modulated Hawkes process that we developed for investigating long-term patterns in seismicity rate. The catalogue of the Landers earthquake sequence, which included multiple mainshocks, was used as a case study. I will show how this model captures the cyclic parent-generating-offspring feature of the temporal behaviour of earthquakes. I will also discuss our current work on extending this temporal model by including spatial variation of the seismic activity and the earthquake magnitude. Our aim is to categorize spatiotemporal seismic hazards holistically, using the entire earthquake record in a selected region to identify patterns correlated with subsequent large earthquakes, rather than the traditional way of hunting for individual foreshocks. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. -- Dott.
