Multi-state models for evaluating conversion options in life insurance
arXiv:1707.01028 · doi:10.15559/17-VMSTA78
Abstract
In this paper we propose a multi-state model for the evaluation of the conversion option contract. The multi-state model is based on age-indexed semi-Markov chains that are able to reproduce many important aspects that influence the valuation of the option such as the duration problem, the time non-homogeneity and the ageing effect. The value of the conversion option is evaluated after the formal description of this contract.
