This page lists the research papers issued by the Department of Actuarial Studies and Demography from 1995 to 1998 inclusive. Due to restructuring, this department ceased to exist late in 1998. The actuarial staff now form the Department of Actuarial Studies while the demography staff have joined the Department of Business.
