North American Actuarial Journal

Aims & Scope

The North American Actuarial Journal scientifically addresses the domestic and international problems, interests and concerns of actuaries, their customers and public policy decision-makers.

The NAAJ publishes papers from traditional fields of actuarial practice, such as life and health insurance, pensions, employee benefits, property and casualty insurance, and finance and investments.

Papers from new or developing areas of actuarial practice are especially welcome.

We seek to stimulate research on emerging public policy debates, technology improvements, demographic trends, multidisciplinary topics, globalization issues, and the like.
