June 23, 20032 Opening comments Data The Human Mortality Database Perspectives on international mortality data Period data Select birth cohorts Rationales for mortality improvements
3
June 23, 20033 Objectives Look for common trends in mortality improvement data Identify select birth cohorts Seek causal links for mortality improvements Compare immediate annuity costs using historical mortality data

June 23, 20034 Select birth cohorts A select cohort is a birth cohort characterized by greater rates of mortality improvement that previous and subsequent generations. A number of select birth cohorts have been identified in the literature England & Wales (1925-45), Sweden (1900-10), and Japan (1910-20) More select birth cohorts are noted here.

June 23, 20036 England & Wales There are some dramatic mortality improvements by period The GAD identified generations born between 1925 and 1945 as select birth cohorts. Mean mortality improvements jumped from a max of 1.8% to 3.8% for select cohorts. The standard deviation jumped from.043 to.056

June 23, 200364 Annuity comparisons The figure provides a comparison of immediate annuity costs for Japan, England & Wales and the United States
65
June 23, 200365 Annuity comparisons The correlation between the change in costs is significant. The correlation between the: US and England & Wales is 59% US and Japan is 52% England & Wales and Japan is 33%
66
June 23, 200366 Close The mortality experience in the countries investigated exhibit similar trends from both a period and a cohort perspective. The similar mortality experience is confirmed by the sizable correlation between the changes in annuity costs.
