Abstract

The present work complements the recent paper by Barz and Müller (2012). Specifically, upper and lower bounds are derived for the force of mortality when one-year death probabilities are given, assuming a monotonic, convex or concave shape. Based on these bounds, worst-case scenarios are derived depending on the mix of benefits in the case of survival and of death comprised in a specific insurance policy.
