The Calculus Of Retirement Income - Financial Models For Pension Annuities And Life Insurance (Hardcover): Moshe A. Milevsky The Calculus Of Retirement Income - Financial Models For Pension Annuities And Life Insurance (Hardcover)
Moshe A. Milevsky
R1,391 Discovery Miles 13 910 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This 2006 book introduces and develops the basic actuarial models and underlying pricing of life-contingent pension annuities and life insurance from a unique financial perspective. The ideas and techniques are then applied to the real-world problem of generating sustainable retirement income towards the end of the human life-cycle. The role of lifetime income, longevity insurance, and systematic withdrawal plans are investigated in a parsimonious framework. The underlying technology and terminology of the book are based on continuous-time financial economics by merging analytic laws of mortality with the dynamics of equity markets and interest rates. Nonetheless, the book requires a minimal background in mathematics and emphasizes applications and examples more than proofs and theorems. It can serve as an ideal textbook for an applied course on wealth management and retirement planning in addition to being a reference for quantitatively-inclined financial planners.

When Insurers Go Bust - An Economic Analysis of the Role and Design of Prudential Regulation (Paperback): Guillaume Plantin,... When Insurers Go Bust - An Economic Analysis of the Role and Design of Prudential Regulation (Paperback)
Guillaume Plantin, Jean-Charles Rochet; Foreword by Hyun Song Shin
R572 Discovery Miles 5 720 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

In the 1990s, large insurance companies failed in virtually every major market, prompting a fierce and ongoing debate about how to better protect policyholders. Drawing lessons from the failures of four insurance companies, When Insurers Go Bust dramatically advances this debate by arguing that the current approach to insurance regulation should be replaced with mechanisms that replicate the governance of non-financial firms. Rather than immediately addressing the minutiae of supervision, Guillaume Plantin and Jean-Charles Rochet first identify a fundamental economic rationale for supervising the solvency of insurance companies: policyholders are the "bankers" of insurance companies. But because policyholders are too dispersed to effectively monitor insurers, it might be efficient to delegate monitoring to an institution--a prudential authority. Applying recent developments in corporate finance theory and the economic theory of organizations, the authors describe in practical terms how such authorities could be created and given the incentives to behave exactly like bankers behave toward borrowers, as "tough" claimholders.

Parting at the Crossroads - The Emergence of Health Insurance in the United States and Canada (Hardcover): Antonia Maioni Parting at the Crossroads - The Emergence of Health Insurance in the United States and Canada (Hardcover)
Antonia Maioni

As almost all newspaper or magazine readers know, Canada figured prominently in the turbulent U.S. debates over health care reform in the early Clinton presidency. Furthermore, future news analysts and policymakers will undoubtedly again use Canada to cite the "good" and the "bad" aspects of single-payer national health insurance. Beyond the debate about the desirability of Canadian-style health care reforms, Antonia Maioni sees another question: Why did the United States and Canada, alike in so many ways, part "at the crossroads" to produce such different systems of health insurance? She answers this previously neglected query so interestingly that her book will hold the attention of anyone concerned with health care in either country or both.

The author explores the development of health insurance in the United States and Canada, from the emergence of health care as a political issue in the 1930s to the passage of federal health insurance legislation in the 1960s. Focusing on how political institutions influence policy development, she shows that Canada's federal structure and its parliamentary institutions encouraged a social-democratic third party that became pivotal in demonstrating the feasibility of universal, public health insurance. Meanwhile, the constraints of the U.S. political system forced health care reformers to temper their own ideas to appeal to a wide coalition within the Democratic party. Even readers previously unfamiliar with Canadian politics will find in this book important clues about the "realm of the possible" in the uncertain future of U.S. health care.

R1,618 Discovery Miles 16 180 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Die Notwendigkeit eines Customer Value Managements in Franchisesystemen resultiert aus der Tatsache, dass der Erfolg des Franchisegebers uber die Franchisegebuhr bzw. Handelsspanne an den Erfolg des Franchisenehmers gekoppelt ist. Geht man davon aus, dass der Franchisegeber primar an einer angemessenen Verzinsung seines in das Franchisesystem investierten Eigenkapitals interessiert ist, sind alle Aktivitaten des Franchisegebers zur planmassigen Gestaltung der Beziehung zum Franchisenehmer an diesem Ziel auszurichten. Folglich sind die einzelnen Franchisegeber-Franchisenehmer-Bezie-hungen jeweils als (Teil-)Inves-titionen zu begreifen, deren Vorteilhaftigkeit sich anhand des Partner Value (PV) bemisst. Eva-Maria Gust entwickelt ein Konzept zur Franchisenehmer-Bewertung. Zur Ermittlung des Partner Value wird auf das Modell des Vollstandigen Finanzplans (VOFIs) und Markov-Prozesse als Verfahren zur Prognose der originaren franchisenehmerbezogenen Zahlungen zuruckgegriffen. Anhand des Partner Value lasst sich fruhzeitig erkennen, ob sich die Franchisenehmer hinsichtlich der obersten Zielsetzung des Franchisegebers optimal entwickeln werden und welche Ansatzpunkte fur wertsteigernde Massnahmen existieren.

Risks can be identified, evaluated, and mitigated, but the underlying uncertainty remains elusive. Risk is present across all industries and sectors. As a result, organizations and governments worldwide are currently experiencing higher levels of risk and have had to make risky decisions during times of crisis and instability, including the COVID-19 pandemic, economic and climate perils, and global tensions surrounding terrorism. It is essential that new studies are undertaken to understand strategies taken during these times to better equip business leaders to navigate risk management in the future. Global Risk and Contingency Management Research in Times of Crisis examines the impact of crises including the COVID-19 pandemic, which has tested organizational risk and contingency management plans. It provides significant insights that should benefit business leaders on risk and contingency management in times of crisis. It emphasizes strategies that leaders can undertake to identify potential future risks and examines decisions made in past crises that can act as examples of what to do and what not to do during future crisis events. Covering topics such as auditing theories, risk assessment, and educational inequality, this premier reference source is a crucial resource for business leaders, executives, managers, decision makers, policymakers, students, government officials, entrepreneurs, librarians, researchers, and academicians.
