Advancements in Actuarial Mathematics and Insurance Risk Management

Dear Colleagues,

The insurance industry is subject to a number of challenges: risks originated by evolving mortality, interest rates, inflation, climate changes; new tasks and constraints imposed by solvency regulation, accounting standards, and legislation; evolving preferences of individual and policyholder expectations; and risk–return targets of investors in dynamic scenarios.

Actuarial mathematics, within which we find the first example of a quantitative formalization of economic activity, can provide substantial support to face such challenges, but appropriate models need to be developed or revised.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to collect contributions in this respect. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Longevity risk and mortality modeling;
• New products in life insurance, providing protection, investment opportunities or post-retirement income;
• Innovative risk management solutions for insured risks;
• Assessments of insurance liabilities along new reporting rules;
• Retention vs. insurance in personal risk management;
• Key indicators, summarizing an organization’s risk profile and performance.
