International Adverse Selection in Life Insurance and Annuities
This paper evaluates the extent of adverse selection in life insurance and annuities in international markets, for both group and individual products.

Our results help assess the extent to which life insurers can hedge mortality exposure by writing both life insurance and annuities, and they may be used to determine a normal range for adverse selection in international insurance markets.
