Modeling of Economic Series Coordinated with Interest Rate Scenarios Research Sponsored by the Casualty Actuarial Society and the Society of Actuaries Investigators: Kevin Ahlgrim, ASA, PhD, Illinois State University Steve D’Arcy, FCAS, PhD, University of Illinois Rick Gorvett, FCAS, ARM, FRM, PhD, University of Illinois Actuarial Research Conference August, 2003

Acknowledgements The investigators wish to thank the Casualty Actuarial Society and the Society of Actuaries for providing financial support for this research, as well as guidance and feedback on the subject matter. Note: All of the following slides associated with this research project reflect tentative findings and results; these results are currently being reviewed by committees of the CAS and SoA.

Overview of Project CAS/SOA Request for Proposals on “Modeling of Economic Series Coordinated with Interest Rate Scenarios” –A key aspect of dynamic financial analysis –Also important for regulatory, rating agency, and internal management tests – e.g., cash flow testing Goal: to provide actuaries with a model for projecting economic and financial indices, with realistic interdependencies among the variables. –Provides a foundation for future efforts

Scope of Project Literature review –From finance, economics, and actuarial science Financial scenario model –Generate scenarios over a 50-year time horizon Document and facilitate use of model –Report includes sections on data & approach, results of simulations, user’s guide –To be posted on CAS & SOA websites –Writing of papers for journal publication

Current Report Structure Text Sections 1) Intro & Overview 2) Excerpts from RFP 3) Selected Proposal 4) Literature Review 5) Data & Approach 6) Issue Discussion 7) Results of Simulations 8) Conclusion Appendices A) User’s Guide to the Model B) Presentations of this Research C) Simulated Financial Scenario Data D) Financial Scenario Model

Prior Work Wilkie, 1986, “A Stochastic Investment Model for Actuarial Use,” Transactions of the Faculty of Actuaries Wilkie, 1995, “More on a Stochastic Model for Actuarial Use,” British Actuarial Journal Hibbert, Mowbray, and Turnbull, 2001, “A Stochastic Asset Model & Calibration for Long- Term Financial Planning Purposes,” Technical Report, Barrie & Hibbert Limited

Economic Series Modeled Inflation Real interest rates Nominal interest rates Equity returns –Large stocks –Small stocks Equity dividend yields Real estate returns Unemployment

Inflation (q) Modeled as an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process –One-factor, mean-reverting dq t =  q (  q – q t ) dt +  q dB q –In discrete format, an autoregressive process Parametrization –Annual regressions on AR process –Two time periods: (i) since 1913; (ii) since 1946 –Base case Speed of reversion:  q = 0.40 Mean reversion level:  q = 4.8% Volatility:  q = 0.04

Real Interest Rates (r) Two-factor Vasicek term structure model Short-term rate (r) and long-term mean (l) are both stochastic variables dr t =  r (l t – r t ) dt +  r dB r dl t =  l (  l – r t ) dt +  l dB l

Nominal Interest Rates (i) Combines inflation and real interest rates i = {(1+q) x (1+r)} - 1 where i = nominal interest rate q = inflation r = real interest rate

Equity Returns (s) Model equity returns as an excess return (x t ) over the nominal interest rate s t = q t + r t + x t Empirical “fat tails” issue regarding equity returns distribution Thus, modeled using a “regime switching model” –Low volatility regime –High volatility regime

Large Stocks ( )Small Stocks ( ) Low Volatility Regime High Volatility Regime Low Volatility Regime High Volatility Regime Mean 0.8%-1.1%1.0%0.3% Variance 3.9%11.3%5.2%16.6% Probability of Switching 1.1%5.9%2.4%10.0% Equities: Excess Monthly Return Parameters

Other Series Equity dividend yields (y) –Modeled such that the log(div. yield) follows an AR process d(ln y t ) =  y (  y – ln y t ) dt +  y dB yt Real estate (property) –Comm. RE transaction data (market appraisals) –O-U processes (w/ and w/o inflation) Unemployment (u) –Phillip’s curve: inverse relationship between u and q –Modeled as an AR(1) process du t =  u (  u – u t ) dt +  u dq t +  u  ut

Some Issues Discussed Equilibrium vs. arbitrage-free models of the term structure Adequacy of a two-factor model Building a model software –We do provide sample output data Capability of inputting specific scenarios

Results of Model Simulations Tables –Key simulated statistics –Correlations – actual versus simulated Funnel of doubt (“summary graph”) plots –Identifies mean and four percentiles (1, 25, 75, 99) Histograms of actual values vs. modeled values

Excerpts from Table 1 Iterations:5000 Parameters:Base Case MeanRange at Year 10 First Last 1% 99% Nominal 1-year interest rate Large Stocks Small Stocks
