Modelling claim dependencies for the general insurance industry with economic capital in view: an innovative approach with stochastic processes. This project will develop and enhance multi-dimensional models used to describe and assess the risks borne by general insurers. These innovative methods, which will be directly applicable by the industry, will strengthen the efficiency and the safety of the Australian economy.
Forecasting and Financing Healthy Ageing and Aged Care in Australia. This project aims to quantify future risks of chronic illness and functional disability in retirement, proposing financing strategies aimed at enhancing healthy ageing, lifestyle quality and aged care provisions.

This project aims to quantify future risks of chronic illness and functional disability in retirement, proposing financing strategies aimed at enhancing healthy ageing, lifestyle quality and aged care provisions. The project devotes to devising a framework integrating government and private sector participation in funding health costs which increase significantly in older ages. The expected outcome includes sustainable retirement income scenarios for easing fiscal pressure from social initiatives such as age pension and aged care financing at the same time improving living standards for seniors. The project expects to place Australia at the forefront of research on sustainable solutions to financial challenges facing retirees.Read moreRead less
Quantitative Analysis of Systemic Risk in Insurance. This project aims to achieve a contemporary and comprehensive quantitative analysis of systemic risk in insurance. The significance lies in narrowing the gap between the studies of systemic risk in banking and insurance. Expected outcomes include the construction of insurance/reinsurance networks to formalise systemic risk, the analysis of the role of network integration, and the development of pricing frameworks to entail a systemic risk prem ....Quantitative Analysis of Systemic Risk in Insurance. This project aims to achieve a contemporary and comprehensive quantitative analysis of systemic risk in insurance. The significance lies in narrowing the gap between the studies of systemic risk in banking and insurance. Expected outcomes include the construction of insurance/reinsurance networks to formalise systemic risk, the analysis of the role of network integration, and the development of pricing frameworks to entail a systemic risk premium. The project will benefit insurers and regulators by providing a forward-looking approach to monitoring and assessing insurance risk during a systemic crisis. These important original contributions to insurance risk management will help establish Australia’s global leadership in systemic risk.Read moreRead less

Demystifying Puzzles in Retirement Planning. This project aims to investigate optimal retirement planning with stochastic and ambiguous mortality/longevity risks not previously considered in a unifying framework. By using an innovative approach utilising techniques from actuarial science, financial mathematics and stochastic control, this project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of personal longevity risk management. Expected outcome of the project include new insights to several pu ....Demystifying Puzzles in Retirement Planning. This project aims to investigate optimal retirement planning with stochastic and ambiguous mortality/longevity risks not previously considered in a unifying framework. By using an innovative approach utilising techniques from actuarial science, financial mathematics and stochastic control, this project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of personal longevity risk management. Expected outcome of the project include new insights to several puzzling questions in retirement studies. This should provide significant benefits to retirement education for retirees facing the risk of outliving retirement savings, thereby mitigating the pressing challenge caused by population ageing and longevity risk to pension systems in many countries.Read moreRead less

Long-term care financing and policy: Insights from a pilot program in China. This project aims to advance global knowledge and policy development around long-term care (LTC) provision by undertaking a comprehensive assessment of alternative funding and provision mechanisms. Drawing on a unique pilot of LTC delivery in China, the project aims to estimate and assess LTC cost and usage, and link this with international experience to quantify the impacts of alternative policy structures.

This project aims to advance global knowledge and policy development around long-term care (LTC) provision by undertaking a comprehensive assessment of alternative funding and provision mechanisms. Drawing on a unique pilot of LTC delivery in China, the project aims to estimate and assess LTC cost and usage, and link this with international experience to quantify the impacts of alternative policy structures. Through methodological advances designed to incorporate the real-time data made available under the pilot, this project aims to deliver significantly improved projections of LTC usage and costs that will be important to governments and the insurance industry, globally. Leveraging a strong partnership between Australian and Chinese researchers, it aims to provide the evidence base needed for policy and industry planning in China, and to advance global knowledge to deal with this challenge.Read moreRead less

Summary
Understanding the implications of population ageing for the future costs of funding health care, aged care and aged pensions in Australia. Decisions about health insurance, aged care, superannuation and retirement are often very complex, and most people find making the best choices extremely challenging. This project will develop new models and design new policies that can help people make better decisions in these areas, leading to greater well being in retirement.
