Assessing the Financial Sustainability of China’s Rural Pension System

Considering the rapid growth of China’s elderly rural population, establishing both an adequate and a financially sustainable rural pension system is a major challenge. Focusing on financial sustainability, this article defines this concept of financial sustainability before constructing sound actuarial models for China’s rural pension system. Based on these models and statistical data, the ana...

Information Technology in Financial Services: A Model for Value Creation

From the research literature and experience it appears that IT investments purely aimed at improving productivity and reducing costs, do not lead to value creation for the firm that makes the investment; the benefits are passed on to their customers in the form of consumer surplus. This paper proposes a value building model that is based on IT investments aimed at improving the performance of t...

System Dynamic Optimization in the Sustainability Assessment of a World-Model

The System Dynamics (SD) methodology is a framework for modeling and simulating the dynamic behavior of socioeconomic systems. Characteristic for the description of such systems is the occurrence of feedback loops together with stocks and flows. The mathematical equations that describe the system are usually nonlinear. Therefore seemingly simple systems can show a nonintuitive, nonpredictable b...
