In this regard, the paper provides the results of estimating the Lee-Carter model for several OECD countries. Furthermore, it conveys the uncertainty surrounding future mortality and...

Risque de longévité et pensions privées
Cet article examine l'impact de l’incertitude concernant l'évolution de la mortalité et de l’espérance de vie (risque de longévité) sur le passif des fonds de pensions privés à prestations définies.

A ce sujet, le présent article présente les résultats de l'application simulée du modèle Lee-Carter à plusieurs...
