The Impact of Statistical Dependence on Multiple Life Insurance Programs

Abstract
Consider an insurance programs involving two dependent lives. We study the impact of several types of dependence relations on the present value of annuities, benefits and premiums. As an example for dependence we discuss a model where the couple is subject to a common cause of death.

Key words: joint life, last survivor, positive orthant dependent, concordance ordering, stochastic ordering, multi variate hazard rate, bi-exponential distribution.
