Abstract

The author addresses "three problems in converting data from life contingent contracts into mortality estimates. First [he discusses] how age period and cohort effects can be identified and the construction of age specific mortality rates for periods and cohorts. Second an indirect standardization procedure for estimating the overall level of mortality from a partial life table [is] proposed. Third bias due to the selection of healthy nominees in annuities and insurance [is] discussed and shown to be a period effect of short duration." "The methods presented here were developed for use with the records of a life annuity sold in Amsterdam between 1586 and 1590 which are used for illustration." (EXCERPT)

作者提出了“将生命或有合同数据转换为死亡率估计的三个问题”。首先，[他讨论]如何确定年龄阶段和群体效应，以及如何构建特定年龄阶段和群体的死亡率。其次，提出了一种间接标准化程序，用于从部分生命表估计死亡率的总体水平。第三种偏见是由于在年金和保险中选择健康的候选人而引起的，这是一种短期持续时间的时期效应。”“这里提出的方法是为了使用1586年至1590年间在阿姆斯特丹出售的终身年金记录而开发的，这些记录用于说明。”(摘录)
