Whitten, S.P., Thomas, R. Guy (1999) A non-linear stochastic asset model for actuarial use. British Actuarial Journal, 5 (5). pp. 919-953. ISSN 1357-3217. (doi:10.1017/S1357321700000751) (KAR id:29800)

Abstract

This paper reviews the stochastic asset model described in Wilkie (1995) and previous work on refining this model. The paper then considers the application of non-linear modelling to investment series, considering both ARCH techniques and threshold modelling. The paper suggests a threshold autoregressive (TAR) system as a useful progression from the Wilkie (1995) model. The authors are making available (by email, on request) a collection of spreadsheets, which they have used to simulate the stochastic asset models which are considered in this paper.
