Robustness analysis of a Continuous-Time Markov Jump Process model for herd behaviour under stochastic shocks

Samuel Kipsang Kaptum, Jane Aduda Akinyi, Philip Ngare, Amos Kipkorir Langat • Scientific African (2025)

Herd behaviour in socio-economic systems is characterised by asynchronous, stochastic decision-making that traditional models capture imperfectly. Discrete-time DTMCs impose fixed-tick synchrony and require binning, which distorts event tim...

Longevity risk—Its financial impact on pensions

Nana Poku Appiagyei Nantwi, Anani Lotsi, Godwin Debrah • Scientific African (2022)

We study the financial impact of longevity risk on defined benefit (DB) pension plan liabilities using the 2010 Ghana population census, and the Lee-Carter model. We compare the usual Lee-Carter model to an extended version. While we observ...
