Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is dedicated to the 9th International Conference on Risk Analysis (ICRA9), focuses on the broad topic of “Risk Analysis and Assessment”, and includes novel research on the use of methods and techniques for analysing and modelling the risk in different, real contexts.

We welcome theoretical and empirical articles on the application of novel computational techniques in estimation, simulation, and prediction in risk analysis and assessment with applications to risk assessment and management in diverse fields, such as:

  • Life/biological sciences;
  • Environmental sciences;
  • Public health;
  • Economics and finance;
  • Reliability engineering;
  • Technical, biological, and biomedical systems;
  • Computer science;
  • Social sciences.

In particular, contributions focusing on high-dimensional applications in today’s complex world and\or novel measures of risk (financial, environmental, clinical, and so on), are encouraged.

Longevity is without a doubt on the rise throughout the world due to advances in technology and health. Since 1960, Ghana’s average annual mortality improvement has been about 1.236%. This poses serious longevity risks to numerous longevity-bearing assets and liabilities. As a result, this research investigates the effect of mortality improvement on pension annuities related to a particular pension scheme in Ghana. Different stochastic mortality models (Lee–Carter, Renshaw–Haberman, Cairns–Blake–Dowd, and Quadratic Cairns–Blake–Dowd) are used to forecast mortality improvements between 2021 and 2030. The results from accuracy metrics indicate that the quadratic Cairns–Blake–Dowd model exhibits the best fit to the mortality data. The findings from the study demonstrate that mortality for increasing ages within the retirement period was declining, with increasing improvement associated with increasing ages. Furthermore, the forecasts were used to estimate the associated single benefit annuity for a GHS 1 per annum payment to pensioners, and it was discovered that the annuity value expected to be paid to such people was not significantly different regardless of the pensioner’s current age.
