  • [hal-04875470] Political patronage and banks’ leverage in the Middle Eastern and North African region: A new neural panel regression analysis
    8 janvier 2025
    This research examines the effect of political patronage on financing decisions for a sample of 67 commercial banks from the Middle Eastern and North African region for the period 2003–2017. For this purpose, a fixed-effects neural panel model was developed to investigate this relationship, which has not been done in previous research. In contrast to classical panel regression, our model allows for the detection of all possible combinations among the variables. Although scant evidence on a direct impact of the political connection exists, the results reveal that the effect of political patronage on leverage is non-linear through its interaction with bank profitability and efficiency. The non-linear effect is also related to the political and institutional environments.
  • [hal-04875474] On the Measurement and Extent of Banks’ Political Connection in the Middle East and North Africa Region
    8 janvier 2025
    In this article, we attempt to create a new measure of political connections specific to the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to examine the extent to which political patronage affects banks’ leverage and risk in this region. Principal component analysis and panel regressions are performed for a sample of banks operating in the MENA region between 2003 and 2017. The new measure incorporates different forms of political links and aspects. A comparison between two political connections variables provides evidence that our measure may outperform the use of a binary variable. Also, our results regarding the MENA region are different from previous ones, which may be explained by the failure of binary variables to capture the real impact of political connection.
  • [hal-04875444] Forecasting reserve risk for temporal dependent losses in insurance
    8 janvier 2025
    Abstract In non‐life insurance, insurance companies aim to accurately assess their reserves in order to fulfil their future obligations. They are based on methods provided by the literature review to evaluate their reserve risk. However, these methods do not take all claim characteristics and ignore the temporal dependence structure of claims, which can affect reserve amounts and lead to delayed payments for policyholders. Therefore, the aim is to investigate the temporal dependence structure among claim amounts (losses) in order to evaluate the accurate amounts of reserves. To achieve this goal, a model called the Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Sinistrality Model is proposed, which considers the temporal dependence characteristics of claims. This model is used to estimate model parameters, so the consistency of such an estimate is proven. Additionally, a bootstrap method adjusted to the Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Sinistrality model is proposed for predicting reserves and errors. The results reveal that considering temporal dependence between losses improves reserve distribution estimation and enhances solvency capital requirement. This means that insurance companies will be able to ensure they have sufficient funds available to meet their obligations to policyholders, thereby enhancing customer satisfaction and trust. Additionally, this can assist insurance companies in maintaining better regulatory compliance.
  • [hal-04875582] Reserve modelling and the aggregation of risks using time varying copula models
    9 janvier 2025
    This paper is concerned with the appropriate claim reserving modelling and aggregation of risks in the insurance sector. In fact, literature review provided some methods to evaluate the total amount of reserves and solvency capital of different lines of business. However, these models were derived under the independent losses assumption. Thus, the total amount of reserves and capital may be inaccurate when losses are dependent, as it is the case in practice. In this paper, a novel model is proposed aiming to handle temporal dependence, both between a line of business claim's amounts and between the two lines of business claims. Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Sinistrality model is used to analyze the evolution in time of dependence and time varying copula functions are proposed to aggregate risks. To achieve such purpose, a simulation study, highlighting the impact on reserves and Solvency Capital Requirement, is performed. Results revealed that a diversification effect could be gained on the Solvency Capital when considering time varying dependence structures.
  • [hal-04875584] Solvency capital requirement for a temporal dependent losses in insurance
    9 janvier 2025
    This article addresses the appropriate modeling of losses for the insurance sector. In fact, solvency 2 framework has suggested some formulas to evaluate losses and solvency capital using an internal approach. However, these formulas where derived under the assumption of independent losses. Thus, the amount of capital may be inaccurate when losses are dependent, which is the case in practice. The aim of this paper is to investigate temporal dependence structure among claim amounts (losses). For that, a novel model named autoregressive conditional amount (ACA) model handling the dynamic behavior of claim amounts in insurance companies is proposed. Results show that ACA models allow to predict accurately the future claims. Moreover, a measure of risk namely value at risk (VaR) ACA that could hedge daily dependent losses is provided. By backtesting techniques, empirical results show that the new VaR ACA can efficiently evaluate the coverage amount of risks.
  • [hal-04875454] The link between abnormal numbers and price movements of financial securities: How does Benford’s law predict stock returns?
    8 janvier 2025
    This paper studies the potential effect of deviation from Benford’s law on stock return prediction. Departures from the anticipated pattern can act as early indicators of irregular market behavior or possible fraudulent activities, both of which have the potential to impact future price trends. In this study, the deviation is measured by chi-squared test statistics over the first significant digit. Preliminary results indicate no compliance between daily stock returns data from Euronext Paris and Tunisian stock markets with Benford’s distribution. Then, the impact on the returns is explored via several models: linear regression and smooth transition models with various transition variables. Empirical results show the nonlinear effect of Benford’s law on stock returns prediction. We illustrate that this law can detect and predict abnormal returns generated by fraudulent or abnormal activities in both developed and emerging markets. By using Benford’s Law to analyze leading digits, investors and analysts can effectively identify irregularities and gain valuable insights into market dynamics.

(Insur Math Econ 88:77–92, 2019) and examines whether the combination between a Generalized Linear Model (GLM) and a Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD) is valid for modeling claims severity in a practical framework. For this, we consider a real fire insurance dataset and fit the proposed model to these data. In this modeling, the threshold is of great importance since it separates the data into two parts and represents the point from which the observations become extremes. Therefore, in order to guarantee the correct choice of this threshold, one extra method is adopted in addition to that used by Laudagé et al. (2019). Furthermore, we build on the authors' results and extend them by fitting the attritional data to three well-known distributions. The results of this study show that the GLM-GPD combination outperforms the benchmark model (classical GLM) in terms of predictive power. In addition, the application of an excess of loss reinsurance treaty to these two models proves that it is more interesting for an insurer to adopt a GLM-GPD combination so as not to underestimate the risk and go bankrupt. This justifies that the combined modeling is reasonably good to describe insurance claim costs.

    8 janvier 2025
    This paper examines the dependence structure and the Granger causality in distribution (GCD) between spot and future returns of precious metals (gold, silver, and platinum) via copula modelling. This study considers the evidence on real precious metals returns from Jan 2, 2002 to Jan 13, 2017. Throughout literature, the use of copula in precious metals markets is still limited. Indeed, unlike linear methods, using a copula-based approach has several attractive advantages. Our empirical findings show the following: (1) Using static and dynamic copulas, we find that the dependence between the spot and the future returns of precious metals is relatively strong and time varying with a strong tail dependence for all pairs (3) Using independence test based on the empirical copula, we detect a unidirectional GCD from future to spot precious metals market during normal times. This results means that past information from the future returns improve forecasts of spot returns. However, the causal relationship seems to be bidirectional in the case of gold and platinum during crisis periods. Our findings are important to investors for investigating hedging strategies since the efficacy of a hedging strategy is dependent on the price discovery mechanism. Hence, they should take the above findings into consideration to make optimal decisions, especially during periods of marked instability.
  • [hal-04875213] Machine learning based methods for ratemaking health care insurance
    8 janvier 2025
    In insurance, proposing an accurate premium that is adjusted to the insured risk profile allows companies to better manage their portfolios and to be more competitive. Machine learning methods have recently been adopted for various improvements in insurance ratemaking, especially in the automobile industry. These models are specifically used to mine potential data information and to build a predictive model for a variable of interest using explanatory variables. In this paper, we aim to provide a pricing method for ratemaking individual healthcare insurance contracts using machine learning algorithms that are applied to a Tunisian healthcare insurance portfolio. We start with a simple Classification and Regression Tree, and we work toward more advanced methods that are Random Forest, Extreme gradient boosting, Support Vector Regression, and Artificial Neural network regression model. The predictive performance of these non-parametric methods is compared with the standard generalized linear model. Our results showed the applicability of machine learning in the healthcare insurance market and that the XGBoost algorithm outperforms the predictive capacity of the classical generalized linear model.
  • [hal-04875497] Is the role of precious metals as precious as they are? A vine copula and BiVaR approaches
    8 janvier 2025
    This paper revisits the international evidence on hedge, safe haven, and diversification properties of precious metals—namely gold, silver, and platinum—for the G-7 stock markets. Therefore, this study proposes a multivariate vine copula-based GARCH model to assess the hedge and safe haven properties of precious metals and a Bivariate Value at Risk-based copula (BiVaR) measure to analyse the diversification potential of precious metals. Our empirical results suggest that; (1) gold is the strongest hedge and safe haven asset in almost all the G-7 stock markets, (2) silver and platinum results show that they may act as weak hedge assets, (3) silver bears the potential of a strong safe haven role only for Germany’s and Italy’s stock markets; however, platinum provides a weak safe haven role for most developed stock markets, (4) precious metals appear as interesting assets for diversifying a portfolio for G-7 stock markets investors. Overall, our findings provide noteworthy practical implication for investors.
  • [hal-04875524] Do political connections affect bank leverage? Evidence from some Middle Eastern and North African countries
    8 janvier 2025
    This study examines the association between political patronage and bank financing decisions in a sample of 34 commercial banks operating in the Middle East and North Africa for the period 2003–2014. We collected information manually about the profiles and biographies of individuals on the boards of banks to identify which banks had political connections, which is the novel contribution of the study. Linear and nonlinear panel data analysis was used to investigate this relationship. The results reveal that politically backed banks tend to be more leveraged. The indirect effect of political patronage on leverage was not found to be large, but was significant through its interaction with profitability; that is, politically backed banks with higher profitability are positively associated with leverage. Our findings imply that the privileges resulting from political ties make banks more profitable, and that this also leads to higher leverage. In line with the related literature, we found that a strong political presence on the boards of banks can be considered an important intangible asset, and one of the factors driving bank financing decisions.
  • [hal-04875478] The Impact of the Exchange Rate Volatility on Stock Markets Dynamics in Tunisia and Turkey: An Artificial Neural Network Analysis
    8 janvier 2025
    The present research provides an overview of links between exchange rate volatility and the dynamics of stock market returns in order to identify the influence of several macroeconomic variables on the volatility of stock markets, useful for political decision makers as well as investors to better control the portfolio risk level. More precisely, this research aims to identify the impact of exchange rate volatility on the fluctuations of stock market returns, considering two countries that belong to the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) zone: Tunisia and Turkey. Previous works in the literature used very specified and short periods of study, many important variables were neglected, and most of the earlier research was concentrated on the developed countries. In this research, we integrate several control variables of stock market returns that have not been simultaneously studied before. In addition, we spread out our research period up to 15 years including many events and dynamics. Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) and multiple regression models are first employed. Then, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is used and compared with the results of the multiple regression. Hence, the results show that for both Tunisia and Turkey, exchange rate volatility has a significant effect on stock market fluctuations.
  • [hal-04875463] Pricing of European currency options considering the dynamic information costs
    8 janvier 2025
    Dynamic costs arising from the variable impact of information on asset pricing present a challenge for accurate European currency option pricing. The Garman and Kohlhagen model, though influential in the literature, does not adequately account for these costs. This study extends the model by integrating an intensity function into the interest rates to measure dynamic information costs. Inspired by the Beer–Lambert law, the function is applied to a decade-long dataset of daily futures continuous calls on the EUR/USD pair from September 21, 2012, to September 23, 2022. The augmented model reduces pricing errors and manages implied volatility better than the 1983 model, consistent across different categories of maturity and moneyness. Our findings emphasize the need to consider dynamic information costs in asset pricing, demonstrating that their inclusion can significantly enhance the accuracy and reliability of currency option pricing.
  • [hal-04875495] How Do Macroeconomic Variables Volatilities Affect Stock Markets Dynamics? Evidence From MENA Zone
    8 janvier 2025
    This research explores the impact of five macroeconomic variables volatilities on the fluctuations of stock markets returns, considering five countries from MENA zone. We contribute to the existing literature by introducing a new framework based on an EGARCH model that combine simultaneously five macroeconomic variables as explicative powers that has never been established before in such an issue. An economic examination in presented about the impact of several key macroeconomic variables prices and volatilities on different stock markets returns. Empirically, four GARCH models are tested and interpreted. The results are of great interest for portfolio managers and international investors since detecting the source of stock market volatility is an actual issue. According to the findings, we conclude that stock markets dynamics are not influenced by the same fluctuations of the same macroeconomic variables, depending on different factors that are revealed and explained.
  • [hal-04875460] Investor behavior in the currency option market during the COVID-19 pandemic
    8 janvier 2025
    This study investigates the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on investor behavior in the currency options market, emphasizing its relationship with underlying exchange rates. Using a sample of daily data from select futures continuous calls from September 22, 2016, to December 31, 2021, we introduce a novel variable, “market imperfections,” to quantify the gap between observed and theoretical currency option prices based on the Garman and Kohlhagen model. Through the application of a Markov switching model, we identify pandemic-related changes in investor behavior, characterized by patterns of divergence and convergence. Our research distinguishes between two key behavioral types in the market: fundamentalists and chartists. This study enriches the literature by clarifying how crises, specifically the COVID-19 period, influence investor dynamics and affect market responses. Overall, we provide critical insights into the factors shaping behavior during challenging periods.
  • [hal-04998447] Risk assessment for synthetic GICs: a quantitative framework for asset–liability management
    20 mars 2025
    Abstract This study addresses a research gap in quantitative modeling framework and scenario analysis for the risk management of stable value fund wraps, a crucial segment of the U.S. financial market with over USD $400 billion in assets. In this paper, we present an asset–liability model that encompasses an innovative approach to modeling the assets of fixed-income funds coupled with a liability model backed by empirical analysis on a unique data set covering 80% of the stand-alone plan sponsor market, contrasting with models based solely on regular deterministic cash flows and interest rate differences. Our model identifies and analyzes two critical risk scenarios from the insurer’s perspective: inflationary and yield spike. Our approach demonstrates that the tail risk of wraps, used as an economic capital measure, is sensitive to characteristic parameters of the fund, such as the duration, portfolio composition and credit quality of assets. This finding significantly differs from U.S. regulatory approaches like the NAIC’s, which often result in a zero capital requirement. These findings reveal limitations in current actuarial risk and profitability metrics for U.S. insurers and argue that a more sophisticated risk model reproducing the two critical scenarios is necessary.
  • [hal-04875531] International risk spillover in sovereign credit markets: an empirical analysis
    8 janvier 2025
    Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the volatility spillover among 33 worldwide sovereign Credit Default Swap (CDS) markets and their underlying bond markets. Design/methodology/approach In contrast to prior studies, the authors incorporate heteroscedasticity, asymmetric leverage effects and long-memory features of sovereign credit spreads simultaneously through a bivariate FIEGARCH model and a Bayesian cointegrated vector autoregressive model. Findings Similar to the literature, the findings confirm that strong evidence of credit risk spillover between credit markets is accentuated during two recent crisis periods. However, the country-by-country analysis indicates that countries exhibit different sensitivity levels and divergent reactions to financial shocks. Further, the authors show that the bidirectional interrelationship evolves over time and across countries emphasizing the necessity of time-varying national regulatory policies and trading positions. Originality/value Based on a large data set that covers the recent two financial crises and using complex methods, the work focuses on sovereign tensions that have repercussions on banks’ solvency and refinancing conditions. Yet, the study is a hot topic since that during crisis periods in the financial markets, direct and indirect interconnections increase between sovereign risk and banking risk. Using new econometric approaches, the results show that each country exhibits a different behavior toward the credit risk which is relevant to both portfolio managers and policy makers. The time-varying spillover effects detected between markets are an accurate indicator of financial stability, allowing policy makers to put in place personalized economic policies. On the other hand, markets’ participants could take advantages of the results by adjusting their trading and hedging positions on the dynamic co-movements. The findings reveal, as well, that the sovereign crisis has more weakened the global financial and banking system than the subprime crisis. The authors previously tackled the cross-country contagion phenomenon in the CDS markets, and this manuscript builds on the prior study to enhance the obtained results.
  • [hal-04875516] On the informational market efficiency of the worldwide sovereign credit default swaps
    8 janvier 2025
    In this globalizing world, the search for predictions of asset returns across financial markets has challenged practitioners and academics for decades. Aware of this issue importance in developing investment strategy, we aim in this paper to give new evidence on the efficiency degree of the sovereign CDS markets. The new framework, used in this paper, combining a VECM and a FIGARCH models by a three-step estimation allows us to greatly improve the accuracy of the econometric estimates. Using data from 37 countries all over the world, throughout the period spanning from January 2006 to March 2017, our study provides worldwide evidence rejecting to some extent, conversely to the results of the literature, the randomness of the credit derivative markets. The implication of our results is that speculators can beat the market by predicting CDS performances, especially during crisis periods.
  • [hal-04875550] The Credit Default Swap market contagion during recent crises: international evidence
    9 janvier 2025
    This paper analyzes Credit Default Swap spread dynamics to determine whether the sovereign Credit Default Swap market is subject to contagion effects. Analysis is performed on credit spreads data from 35 worldwide countries belonging to four different economic categories over a period from 2006 until 2014, covering the subprime crisis and the European sovereign debt crisis. A novel approach is proposed to estimate the Dynamic Conditional Correlations between CDS spreads using the AR(1)-FIEGARCH(1,d,1)-DCC model. Based on our findings, we put a slant on the financial market vulnerability, reinforced by contagion effects during the different phases of the crises. Furthermore, analysis of each country solely shows that contagion effects are sterner during the Eurozone crisis compared to the global financial crisis and that the level of exposure to crises differs across global markets and regions. Yet our approach provides evidences that crises spread to countries across the world regardless their economic status or geographical positions.
  • [hal-04875519] Nonlinearities in the oil effects on the sovereign credit risk: A self-exciting threshold autoregression approach
    8 janvier 2025
    The unquenchable thirst of several sectors to crude oil in the recent years makes a common belief regarding its key role towards the acceleration of the recent economic recession and financial instability. This paper aims to examine the nonlinear impact of oil shocks on the sovereign credit risk for a sample of 38 worldwide oil-producing and oil-consuming countries, over a period ranging from January 2006 to March 2017. In contrast to the existing literature, CDS volatility is employed as a measure for the creditworthiness level, rather than the commonly used CDS spreads first-order moment. The methodological framework used in this paper goes beyond previous studies and takes into account more financial data features (long memory behavior, asymmetric effects and nonlinearities) according to a self-exciting regime switching model. Results reveal some dissimilarities in the explanatory power of the exogenous variables between regimes and across countries. Particularly, restricted evidences of the impact of oil shocks on sovereign CDS volatility are detected during the stable regime, whilst during the risky regime credit volatility becomes more sensitive to oil market conditions for most of the studied countries. Overall, the decline in oil price worsens the public finances tenability whether the country is oil-related or not.
  • [hal-01698006] On the Informational Market Efficiency of the Worldwide Sovereign Credit Default Swap
    31 janvier 2018
    In this globalized world, market efficiency is one of the main determinants of country positions in the international economic and financial space. Aware of this crucial issue, this article aims to provide further evidence on the weak form of the Efficiency Hypothesis in Sovereign CDS markets in 37 countries around the world from January 2006 to March 2017. The econometric framework used in this research is based on a VECM-FIGARCH(1,d,1) approach that considers for long term equilibrium as well as volatility stylized facts such as clustering and long-memory. Based on the entire period analysis and against all odds, the results clearly reject the randomness of each CDS spread studied. However, the sub-period analysis shows significant evidence of structural breaks in the price predictability pattern, characterized by some efficiency decline over the last two financial tensions. The significant impact of crises on market efficiency is all the more justified because, during the post-crisis period, historical prices are found to be completely irrelevant in predicting current spreads. Moreover, our results show that each country of the economically heterogeneous studied sample exhibit different efficiency status that cannot be adequately explained by the sovereign credit risk level.

    21 février 2011
    Les taux de réponse des enquêtes ménages déplacements tendent à décroître dans le temps, et il semble peu probable que cette tendance s'inverse à l'avenir. Ces dernières années, les méthodes utilisées pour recueillir les données de mobilité ont évolué afin de prendre en compte deux paramètres : la nécessité d'obtenir des informations fiables et suffisamment précises pour nourrir des modèles de plus en plus complexes et l'intégration des nouvelles technologies dans les protocoles d'enquête (web, GPS...). La combinaison de différents médias s'est imposée comme un moyen d'améliorer la qualité des données produites à moindre coût, en permettant une augmentation du taux de réponse global. Mais la question de la comparabilité des données dans le temps et entre les différents modes reste entière. Cet article propose une analyse comparative des comportements de mobilité des individus qui ont répondu à une enquête web, avec ceux soumis à un questionnaire en face-à-face. Les données sont issues de l'enquête ménages déplacements menée en 2006 dans l'agglomération lyonnaise. L'analyse montre que les internautes sont moins mobiles que les individus qui répondent en face-à-face (3.00 vs. 3.63 déplacements quotidiens), avec des différences plus ou moins marquées selon les modes et les motifs. Si les différences socioéconomiques des répondants peuvent expliquer en partie cet écart (les internautes ont un profil particulier), l'hypothèse d'une sous-déclaration imputable au média web n'est pas à exclure.
  • [hal-05070264] Analytic and Monte Carlo approximations to the distribution of the first-passage time of drifted diffusion with stochastic resetting and mixed boundary conditions
    16 mai 2025
    This paper introduces two techniques for computing the distribution of the absorption or first passage time of the drifted Wiener diffusion subject to Poisson resetting times to an upper hard wall barrier and to a lower absorbing barrier. The first method, which we call the Padé-partial fraction approximation, starts with the Padé approximation to the Laplace transform of the first passage time distribution, which is then exactly inverted by means of the partial fraction decomposition. The second method, which we call the multiresolution algorithm, is a Monte Carlo technique that exploits the properties of the Wiener process to generate Brownian bridges at increasing levels of resolution. Our numerical study reveals that the multiresolution algorithm has higher efficiency than standard Monte Carlo, whereas the faster Padé-partial fraction method is accurate in various circumstances and provides an analytical formula. Also, a closed-form exact expression for the expected first passage time is derived.
  • [hal-01242023] Market inconsistencies of the market-consistent European life insurance economic valuations: pitfalls and practical solutions
    11 décembre 2015
    The Solvency II directive has introduced a specific so-called risk-neutral framework to valuate economic accounting quantities throughout European life insurance companies. The adaptation of this theoretical notion for regulatory purposes requires the addition of a specific criterion, namely the market-consistency, in order to objectify the choice of the valuation probability measure. This paper aims at pointing out and fixing some of the major risk sources embedded in the current regulatory life insurance valuation scheme. We compare actuarial and financial valuation schemes. We then address first operational issues and potential market manipulation sources in life insurance, induced by both theoretical and regulatory pitfalls. For example, we show that calibrating the interest rate model in October 2014 instead of December 31 st 2014 generates a 140%-increase in the economic own funds of a representative French life insurance company. We propose various adaptations of the current implementations, including product-specific valuation scheme, to limit the impact of these market-inconsistencies.

    The goal of this paper is to give recent results in risk theory presented at the Conference "Journée MAS 2012" which took place in Clermont Ferrand. After a brief state of the art on ruin theory, we explore some particular aspects and recent results. One presents matrix exponential approximations of the ruin probability. Then we present asymptotics of the ruin probability based on mixing properties of the claims distribution. Finally, the multivariate case, motivated by reinsurance, is presented and some contemporary results (closed forms and asymptotics) are given.
  • [hal-01711196] Operational choices for risk aggregation in insurance: PSDization and SCR sensitivity
    16 février 2018
    This paper answers crucial questions about the robustness of the PSDization process for applications in insurance. PSDization refers to the process that forces a matrix to become positive semi-definite. For companies using copulas to aggregate risks in their internal model, PSDization occurs when working with correlation matrices to compute the Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR). We study how classical operational choices concerning the modelling of risk dependence impacts the SCR during PSDization. These operations refer to permutations of risks (or business lines) in the correlation matrix, addition of a new risk, and introduction of confidence weights given to the correlation coefficients. Using genetic algorithms, it is shown that theoretically neutral transformations of the correlation matrix can surprisingly lead to significant sensitivities of the SCR (up to 6%). This highlights the need for a very strong internal control around the PSDization step.

  • [hal-00732887] Exogenous and endogenous risk factors management to predict surrender behaviours
    17 septembre 2012
    Insurers have been concerned about surrenders for a long time especially in Saving business, where huge sums are at stake. The emergence of the European directive Solvency II, which promotes the development of internal risk models (among which a complete unit is dedicated to surrender risk management), strengthens the necessity to deeply study and understand this risk. In this paper we investigate the topics of segmenting and modeling surrenders in order to better take into account the main risk factors impacting policyholders' decisions. We find that several complex aspects must be specifically dealt with to predict surrenders, in particular the heterogeneity of behaviour as well as the context faced by the insured. Combining them, we develop a new methodology that seems to provide good results on given business lines, and that moreover can be adapted for other products with little effort.

    We consider a multivariate default system where random environmental information is available. We study the dynamics of the system in a general setting and adopt the point of view of change of probability measures. We also make a link with the density approach in the credit risk modelling. In the particular case where no environmental information is concerned, we pay a special attention to the phenomenon of system weakened by failures as in the classical reliability system.
  • [hal-01275397] Alpha-CIR Model with Branching Processes in Sovereign Interest Rate Modelling
    18 février 2016
    We introduce a class of interest rate models, called the α-CIR model, which gives a natural extension of the standard CIR model by adopting the α-stable Lévy process and preserving the branching property. This model allows to describe in a unified and parsimonious way several recent observations on the sovereign bond market such as the persistency of low interest rate together with the presence of large jumps at local extent. We emphasize on a general integral representation of the model by using random fields, with which we establish the link to the CBI processes and the affine models. Finally we analyze the jump behaviors and in particular the large jumps, and we provide numerical illustrations.
  • [hal-01158141] Modelling sovereign risks: from a hybrid model to the generalized density approach
    29 mai 2015
    Motivated by the European sovereign debt crisis, we study the sovereign risk by analyzing the solvency and the sovereign bond yield and propose a hybrid model which takes into account the movement of the sovereign solvency and the impact of critical political events. This model combines the structural and the reduced-form approaches in the credit risk modelling and the sovereign default time can be decomposed into an accessible part with predictable components and a totally inaccessible part. As a consequence, the probability of default at a critical political event date is nonzero and the probability law admits atoms. We study this model in a generalized density framework to deduce the compensator process of default and show that the intensity process does not necessarily exist. We also apply the model to the valuation of sovereign bond and explain the significant jumps in the long-term government bond yield during the sovereign crisis.
  • [hal-00768526] Partial Splitting of Longevity and Financial Risks: The Longevity Nominal Choosing Swaptions
    21 décembre 2012
    In this paper, we introduce a new structured financial product: the so-called Life Nominal Chooser Swaption (LNCS). Thanks to such a contract, insurers could keep pure longevity risk and transfer a great part of interest rate risk underlying annuity portfolios to financial markets. Before the issuance of the contract, the insurer determines a confidence band of survival curves for her portfolio. An interest rate hedge is set up, based on swaption mechanisms. The bank uses this band as well as an interest rate model to price the product. At the end of the first period (e.g. 8 to 10 years), the insurer has the right to enter into an interest rate swap with the bank, where the nominal is adjusted to her (re-forecasted) needs. She chooses (inside the band) the survival curve that better fits her anticipation of future mortality of her portfolio (during 15 to 20 more years, say) given the information available at that time. We use a population dynamics longevity model and a classical two-factor interest rate model %two-factor Heath-Jarrow-Morton (HJM) model for interest rates to price this product. Numerical results show that the option offered to the insurer (in terms of choice of nominal) is not too expensive in many real-world cases. We also discuss the pros and the cons of the product and of our methodology. This structure enables insurers and financial institutions to remain in their initial field of expertise.

Explicit models are also proposed by using the methods of change of probability measure or dynamic copula.
  • [hal-01263358] The generalized density approach in progressive enlargement of filtrations
    27 janvier 2016
    Motivated by credit risk modelling, we consider a type of default times whose probability law can have atoms, where standard intensity and density hypotheses in the enlargement of filtrations are not satisfied. We propose a generalized density approach in order to treat such random times in the framework of progressive enlargement of filtrations. We determine the compensator process of the random time and study the martingale and semimartingale processes in the enlarged filtration which are important for the change of probability measures and the evaluation of credit derivatives. The generalized density approach can also be applied to model simultaneous default events in the multi-default setting.

    16 juillet 2010
    This article investigates the latest developments in longevity risk modelling, and explores the key risk management challenges for both the financial and insurance industries. The article discusses key definitions that are crucial for the enhancement of the way longevity risk is understood; providing a global view of the practical issues for longevity-linked insurance and pension products that have evolved concurrently with the steady increase in life expectancy since 1960s. In addition, the article frames the recent and forthcoming developments that are expected to action industry-wide changes as more effective regulation, designed to better assess and efficiently manage inherited risks, is adopted. Simultaneously, the evolution of longevity is intensifying the need for capital markets to be used to manage and transfer the risk through what are known as Insurance-Linked Securities (ILS). Thus, the article will examine the emerging scenarios, and will finally highlight some important potential developments for longevity risk management from a financial perspective with reference to the most relevant modelling and pricing practices in the banking industry.
  • [hal-04875619] Cost Effectiveness of Pegfilgrastim Versus Filgrastim After High-Dose Chemotherapy and Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients with Lymphoma and Myeloma
    9 janvier 2025
    Background Use of the recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) filgrastim accelerates neutrophil recovery following myelosuppressive chemotherapy. Since filgrastim requires multiple daily administrations, forms of rhG-CSF with a longer half life, including pegfilgrastim, have been developed. Pegfilgrastim is safe and effective in supporting neutrophil recovery and reducing febrile neutropenia after conventional chemotherapy. Pegfilgrastim has also been successfully used to support patients undergoing peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation for haematological malignancies. To our knowledge, no cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) of pegfilgrastim in this setting has been published yet. Objective We undertook a CEA to compare a single injection of pegfilgrastim versus repeated administrations of filgrastim in patients who had undergone PBSC transplantation for lymphoma or myeloma. The CEA was set in France and covered a period of 100 ± 10 days from transplant. Methods The CEA was designed as part of an open-label, multicentre, randomized phase II trial. Costs were assessed from the hospital’s point of view and are expressed in 2009 euros. Costs computation focused on inpatient, outpatient, and home care. Costs in the two arms of the study were compared using the Mann–Whitney test. When differences were statistically significant, multiple regression analyses were performed in order to identify cost drivers. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICER) were calculated for the major endpoints of the trial; i.e., duration of febrile neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count [ANC] <0.5 × 109/L and temperature ≥38 °C), duration of neutropenia (ANC <1.0 × 109/L and ANC <0.5 × 109/L), duration of thrombopenia (platelets <50 × 109/L and <20 × 109/L), and days with a temperature ≥38 °C). Uncertainty around the ICER was captured by a probabilistic analysis using a non-parametric bootstrap method. Results 151 patients were enrolled at ten French centres from October 2008 to September 2009. The mean total cost in the pegfilgrastim arm of the study (n = 74) was €25,024 (SD 9,945). That in the filgrastim arm (n = 76) was €28,700 (SD 20,597). Pegfilgrastim strictly dominated filgrastim for days of febrile neutropenia avoided, days of neutropenia (ANC <1.0 × 109/L) avoided, days of thrombopenia (platelets <20 × 109/L) avoided, and days with temperature ≥38 °C) avoided. Pegfilgrastim was less costly and less effective than filgrastim for the number of days with ANC <0.5 × 109/L avoided and the number of days with platelets <50.0 × 109/L avoided. Taking uncertainty into account, the probabilities that pegfilgrastim strictly dominated filgrastim were 67 % for febrile neutropenia, 86 % for neutropenia (ANC <1.0 × 109/L), 59 % for thrombopenia (platelets <20 × 109/L), 86 % for temperature ≥38 °C, 32 % for neutropenia (ANC <0.5 × 109/L), and 43 % for thrombopenia (platelets <50 × 109/L). Conversely, the probability that filgrastim strictly dominated pegfilgrastim for neutropenia (ANC <0.5 × 109/L) is 5 %. Conclusion This study found no evidence that the use of pegfilgrastim is associated with greater cost in lymphoma and myeloma patients after high-dose chemotherapy and PBSC transplantation.
  • [hal-01259711] Successive enlargement of filtrations and application to insider information *
    20 janvier 2016
    We model in a dynamic way an insider's private information flow which is successively augmented by a family of initial enlargement of filtrations. According to the a priori available information, we propose several density hypotheses which are presented in hierarchical order from the weakest one to the stronger ones. We compare these hypotheses, in particular, with the Jacod's one, and deduce conditional expectations under each of them by providing consistent expressions with respect to the common reference filtration. Finally, this framework is applied to a default model with insider information on the default threshold and some numerical illustrations are performed.
