Mortality modelling with Lévy processes

This paper addresses the modelling of human mortality by the aid of doubly stochastic processes with an intensity driven by a positive Lévy process. We focus on intensities having a mean reverting stochastic component. Furthermore, driving Lévy processes are pure jump processes belonging to the class of α -stable subordinators. In this setting, expressions of survival probabilities are inferred, the pricing is discussed and numerical applications to actuarial valuations are proposed.
