We try to model surrender rates with a few explanatory variables such as the difference between reference new money rates and product crediting rates with surrender charges, the policy age since the contract was issued, unemployment rates, economy growth rates, and seasonal effects. In modeling surrender rates we use the logit function. We calculate the value of interest indexed annuities and investigate the surrender rate impacts on the value, the duration, and the convexity of interest indexed annuities.

Abstract
An ageing population and the resulting income shortage of the aged are pressing problems in many countries across the world. In response, the Korean government set up the Farmland Bank to issue a new reverse mortgage, called farmland-backed annuity (FBA), to liquidize farmland assets and provide living expenses to aged farmers. In this study, we construct a suitable farmland price model for FBA. We also make a few proposals on designing FBA so that it meets the various needs of aged farmers. The results of this research would help the organization in charge of FBA to not only resolve the rural ageing problems but also contribute to strengthening the agricultural economy.
