We efie he moraliy rae riss. Defiiio The moraliy rae ris is he ris ha he acual claims associae o eah are more freque ha he aiciae resulig i ueece losses. I his secio, we assume ha he force of moraliy may icrease for secific ages ueecely a ha here may eis moraliy rae riss. If he life able cosruce from a force of moraliy moel reics lower moraliy raes ha acually eeriece by he life isurace olicy holers he he comay will face losses i he fuure. We cosier he chages i moraliy raes, calle he moraliy rae shocs, a wa o chec he remium iffereces whe here eis moraliy rae shocs. For illusraio urose, we use Gomerz s moel, µ ( ) µ () c. (2.)

Uer his assumio, we will cosruc he chage life able, calculae he remiums of -year erm isurace a -year ure eowme, chec he gais or losses of remiums, a comue he hege raios. The remiums of -year erm isurace A are icreasig afer he moraliy : rae shoc, a he remiums of -year ure eowme A are ecreasig afer he : moraliy rae shoc. Table 3 shows he chages of remiums. To fi he hege raio, le us eoe he remium of -year erm isurace afer ~ moraliy rae shoc by A, a eoe he remium of -year ure eowme afer : ~ moraliy rae shoc by A.

(3.3) By he same way, he liabiliy L ~ afer he moraliy rae shoc is L ~ v ~ + ( ) v ~. (3.4) The ifferece L bewee he liabiliies L ~ a L is L L ~ L ~ v ( ) + ( ) v ( ~ ). (3.5) We wa o fi such ha he ifferece bewee he liabiliies, L, is as small as ossible, L L ~ L ~ v ( ) + ( ) v ( ~ ). Le us aalyze he ifferece L L ~ L bewee he liabiliies.

(3.7) If we assume ha he fucio f () is wice iffereiable he, by Taylor s formula wih iegral remaier, he fucio f () ca be eresse as f () f () + f () + ( w) f ( w) w 9

10 f () + ( w) f ( w) w. Now he ifferece bewee he liabiliies is L v f () [ v ( ) w f ( w) w] + ( ) v f () + ( ) v ( w) f ( w) w where a f () [ v + ( ) v ] [ v ( ) w f ( w) w] + ( ) v ( w) f ( w) w I + II, I f () [ v + ( ) v ], II [ v ( ) w f ( w) w] + ( ) v ( w) f ( w) w.

We ca ierre heorem usig he sesiiviy of he liabiliies L wih resec o he chage of moraliy raes wih he followig assumio. For he survival robabiliy, e µ + ss, we assume ha he sesiiviy of wih resec o he chage of moraliy raes is aroimaely µ e µ + ss. (3.24) Theorem 2 Wih he assumio above, he hege raio of -year ure eowme for age o offse he losses from -year erm isurace is he umber which saisfies L. (3.25) µ Proof From (3.3) we have L A + : v + ( ) v. We have he followig equivaleces L µ v µ + ( ) v µ v ( ) v ( ) ( Ia ) : + ( Ia ) :. emar 2 If he force of moraliy µ µ, a cosa, he we have

12 From (3.3) we have L A + : + ss e µ e µ. (3.26) v + ( ) v. Now we cosier L as a fucio of boh moraliy rae µ a ieres rae i.

13 So he hegig sraegy wih + ( Ia ) : oes o guaraee a erfec hegig. There sill remai moraliy rae riss sice L II may o equal o. Defiiio 3 The resiual ris hegig sraegy wih + ( Ia ) : for age is he amou L II whe we have he (i.e. I ). Now le us aalyze he resiual ris L II [ v ( ) w f ( w) w] + ( ) v ( w) f ( w) w.

(3.32) Table 5 shows he hege raios a resiual riss whe we assume ha he force of moraliy follows Gomerz s moel. I he firs colum of Table 5, we assume ha he arameer c i he force of moraliy fucio is icrease by %. I he seco colum of Table 5, we calculae he hege raios, a i he hir colum of Table 5, we calculae he resiual riss. Age() Table 5.

Bu he hegig sraegy is o erfec a here remai resiual riss sice he aroimaio usig Taylor s formula may have error erms. To imrove he hegig sraegies we ca cosier sochasic moraliy rae moels a calculae he sesiiviies of liabiliies irecly usig Malliavi calculus. There are several families of eermiisic aalyical laws of moraliy such as De Moivre, Gomerz, Maeham, a Weibull. The Gomerz law of moraliy is give by µ () µ ()c, (4.) where µ () >, c >,. 2 Noe ha a erfec hegig sraegy is L A + : + a :. So a erfec are he ris measures oly whe L. We wa o fi geeralize hegig sraegies. 5

16 For he sochasic moraliy rae moels, we refer o Lee a Carer (993), Lee (2), Yag (2), Dahl (23), Biffis (25), Milevsy a Promislow (2), Woobury a Mao (997), a Yashi e al. (985). For illusraio urose, we cosier a sochasic law of moraliy, esecially he Browia Gomerz (BG) moel base o Milevsy a Promislow (2)3. The BG force of moraliy rocess is eece o grow eoeially, he variace is roorioal o he value of he hazar rae, a his rocess ever his zero. I his aer, we cosier a simle sochasic force of moraliy rocess, { µ (); }, as follows4, µ () µ ()e(σ Z()), (4.2) where σ >, µ () >, a he yamics of {Z(); } are escribe by he sochasic iffereial equaio, Z() b Z() + W(), (4.3) wih Z(), b, a W() is he saar Browia moio. Noe ha if b, he rocess µ () is he geomeric Browia moio. The rocess Z() ossesses mea reversio wih mea reversio coefficie b. We ca solve (4.3) for Z(), b( s) Z() e W ( s). (4.4) The mea value of Z() is [Z()], (4.5) a he variace of Z() is Var(Z()) [Z() 2 2 b( s) 2 e ] b { e } ( s). (4.6) 2b Noe ha Var(Z()) <, so he rocess has a smaller variace ha W(), a Var(Z()) coverges o as b goes o. The eece value of he sochasic force of moraliy µ () is 2 2 σ e b [ µ ()] µ () e. (4.7) 2 2b Noe ha [ µ ()] coverges o he Gomerz law of moraliy as b goes o, [ µ ()] µ () e 2, as b. (4.8) Le us cosier he yamics of { µ (); }. Usig Iô s lemma, we have µ () σ µ () Z() + 2 σ 2 µ () (4.9) 2 σ σ µ () {b Z() + W()}+ 2 σ 2 µ (), by (4.3), (4.) 3 The choice a jusificaio of sochasic moraliy rae moels may ee o he aa a isurace olicies. 4 Milevsy a Promislow (2) suggess he moel, µ (,) ζ e(ξ + σ Z()), for he force of moraliy. Here we assume ha age for illusraio urose. 6

17 σ µ () {b l ( ) σ µ () + W()}+ σ 2 µ (), by (4.2), 2 (4.) { σ 2 + b l µ () b l µ ()} µ () + σ µ () W(). 2 (4.2) We will use his formula o fi a hegig sraegy usig Malliavi calculus laer. 5 Malliavi Calculus We assume ha he yamics of a asse {X(); T}, which is a - Marov rocess, are escribe by he sochasic iffereial equaio, X() β (X()) + σ (X()) W(), (5.) where {W(); T} is a Browia moio wih values i. We cosier he rice of a coige claim efie by he followig form V() [ψ (X( ),, X( m )) X() ], (5.2) where ψ is he ay off fucio o he imes < m T. Now, we wa o calculae he rice of he ah eee coige claims a he sesiiviy of V() wih resec o he iiial coiio. We ee o comue a Moe Carlo simulaio of V() a a Moe Carlo esimaor V(+ε ) for a small ε, a esimae he sesiiviy of V() by he followig value V V ( + ε ) V ( ). (5.3) ε Oe way o calculae he sesiiviy of V() is o use he Malliavi calculus. We briefly irouce a few resulig formulas ee i his aer. For more eails o Malliavi calculus a is alicaio o fiace, we may refer Bicheler e al. (987), Fourie e al. (2, 999), a Nualar (995). I is well ow ha, usig Malliavi calculus, he iffereial of V() ca be eresse as V [π ψ (X( ),, X( m )) X() ], (5.4) where π is a raom variable o be eermie. There are may beefis of he above formula. We oly ee oe ime Moe Carlo simulaio o calculae he sesiiviy of V(). So we ca save simulaio a comuig ime. A we o o ee he arallel shif of, + ε, wih arbirary small value of ε. We ca oice ha he weigh π oes o ee o he ay off fucio ψ, which is also a imora avaage of he above formula. Le us cosier a robabiliy sace (Ω, F, P), a a se C of raom variables o he Wieer-sace Ω of he form F F(ω ) f h (( ) W ( ),..., h (( ) W (, (5.5) where ω is a ah i he Wieer-sace Ω, f S( ), S( ) is he se of ifiiely iffereiable fucios o, a h,, h L 2 ( Ω + ). For F C, we efie he Malliavi erivaive DF of F by ) 7

18 f D F h ( ) W ( ),..., h ( ) W ( ) hi ( ) i, i a.s. (5.6) We efie he orm of F by / 2 F,2 ([F 2 ]) /2 2 + ( ) D F. (5.7) We eoe he Baach sace which is he comleio of C by D,2, wih he orm,2. Le U be a sochasic rocess, U() U(ω,) L 2 ( Ω + ). For ay φ D,2 a fie ω, boh U a Dφ are i L 2 ( + ) H. We wrie U, Dφ U ( ) Dφ, (5.8) for he saar ier rouc i L 2 ( + ). Noe ha his eressio is sochasic, U, Dφ U, Dφ (ω ). (5.9) We calculae [ U, Dφ ] by iegraig over all ω Ω. We efie δ (U), so calle he Soroho iegral, as ajoi o D by [ U, Dφ ] [δ (U) φ]. (5.) Oe of he ieresig facs of Malliavi Calculus is ha he ivergece oeraor δ coicies wih he saar Iô iegral. Le U be a aae sochasic rocess i L 2 ( Ω + ). The we have δ (U) U ( ) W ( ). (5.) For a aae raom variable F D,2, usig he chai rule for Malliavi erivaives Dψ (F) ψ (F) DF. (5.2) By iegraio by ars, we have [ψ (F)] Dψ ( F), DF DF, DF ψ ( F) δ DF DF, DF [ ψ (F)π ], (5.3) where π δ DF DF, DF is a raom variable o be eermie a ψ is a ay off fucio.
