Abstract
Much attention has been focused recently on the issue of valuing guaranteed minimum death benefits embedded in annuity contracts. These benefits resemble a sequence of put options and their value should obey a differential equation similar to the Black-Scholes equation for simple put options. This paper derives a number of analytic solutions to this equation for a number of simple mortality laws.
