Designing a social security pension system. By: Brown, Robert L.. International SocialSecurity Review, Jan-Mar2008, Vol. 61 Issue 1, p61-79, 19p, 2 Charts, 6 Graphs

Abstract: This paper looks at potential models of social security pension systems. It

refers often to the systems that exist in the United States and Canada (the latter moreparticularly) to outline the issues involved in attempting to design a good socialsecurity pension system. Of course, one of the issues is the definition of good. Thispaper will use criteria such as poverty alleviation, retirement income adequacy,benefit/contribution sustainability, income equality and wealth distribution. In thecourse of the discussion, the reader will be exposed to many issues that need to beaddressed in the establishment of any social security pension system in the world.This may prove to be helpful in countries where new systems are established (andeven for evolving systems). It is also hoped that future students of social security willfind this paper helpful in that it is meant to lay out some basic principles consistent

with good social security pension design. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]: Business Source Corporate

On a Dividend Strategy of Insurance CompaniesAuthor: Potocky, RastislavAuthor Affiliation: FMPI Comenius USource: Ekonomie a Management, 2008, v. 11, iss. 4, pp. 103-09Publication Date: 2008

Abstract: The problem of finding the optimal dividend strategy is very important forinsurancecompanies. In order to solve this problem, a discounted cash flow model

has been used which is a special case of valuation models. We analyse the surplus ofan insurancecompany with attention focused on probability of ruin. The usualstrategy of insurers to allow the surplus to go to infinity in order to avoid ruin hasbeen criticised by several economists (De Finetti and others) as too conservative. Inthe paper, we discuss the so-called barrier strategy for treating the surplus of aninsurancecompany and show how dividends are paid out in the case the surplus isgreater than a predetermined value of the barrier. We present the expecteddiscounted sum of dividends and show for which value of the barrier this sum willattain the greatest value. In the first part of the paper, the problem is analysed indetails provided that claims are exponentially distributed. The purpose of the paper isto solve the same situation, however, for the so-called large claims. It is well knownthat the ruin problem which is closely related to the dividend strategy problem leadsto different results for such claims. On the other hand, insurancecompanies are nowconfronted with such claims more often than before. Let us mention catastrophicfloods, earthquakes, etc., which cannot be modelled by exponential and similardistributions. The problem of non-identically distributed claims is also treated. The lastsection of the paper deals with the question how the dividend strategy should bechanged after ruin happens. A solution is mentioned suggested by several actuariesthat instead of maximizing the expected discounted sum of dividends the differencebetween them and the deficit at ruin should be maximized. At the end, our attentionis paid to the questions of parameter estimation and the choice of a proper claim
