The question of how to determine the most relevant risk driver is not very well understood. Our paper (1) Theory: How to allocate the randomness of liabilities to different risk sources? (2) Application: What is the dominating risk in annuity conversion options? Note: we focus on the distribution under the real-world measure P.
