Abstract

Many multiple life insurance products consider benefits that are contingent on the combined survival status of two lives. To value premiums of the insurance products accurately, we need to consider the impact of the survivorship of one life on another. To show a dependence relation between married couple, we calculate correlation coefficients by using married couples data from National Pension Service and the results show some positive dependence between them. Moreover, by analyzing the death after bereavement, we find a evidence that mortality rates increase after the death of a spouse and, in addition, that this phenomenon, the broken-heart syndrome, diminishes over time. The results of this study can support the method to calculate the premium of multiple life insurance reflecting more realistic joint mortality rates.

부부 또는 가족 등의 혈연관계는 생활환경 및 방식이 유사하기 때문에 그들의 생존기간 간에 상관관계가 존재한다는 것을 짐작할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실제 부부 데이터를 이용하여 상관 분석을 위해 피어슨의 상관계수, 스피어만의 상관계수, 그리고 켄달의 타우를 계산해 본다. 또한, 부부 중 한 명이 사망 후 최종생존자가 사망할 때까지의 사망시차를 분석하여 부부의 사망 시점 간에 종속관계에 대하여도 분석하도록 한다. 실제로 보험에 함께 가입한 부부나 가족은 생존기간 또는 사망시점 간에 상관성이 존재하기 때문에 그들의 생존기간이 독립이라 가정하는 보험 실무 방법 대신 상관성을 고려하여 보험 상품의 가치를 평가하는 것이 더 타당할 수 있다. 본 연구를 통해 부부 중 한 명의 배우자의 사망으로 인한 최종생존자의 잔존생존기간의 변화를 분석하여 연생보험의 보험료 및 준비금 산출 등에 활용할 수 있는 근거를 제시해 보고자 한다.
