The output of a cash flow model is a table where rows represent periods and columns represent variables. Data are the values of the variables for the given period.
The structure of the output depends …
A bond is a type of financial asset that represents a loan made by an investor to a borrower, typically a company or a government.

Life insurance aims to reduce the financial impact of the event of untimely death. The life insurances are long-term in nature which provides a significant element of uncertainty.
The size and time of payment in life insurance depend on the time of death of the insured. The actuarial cash flow models are built as a function of the t variable.
We usually consider life insurance as insurance on human lives, but the same idea can apply to objects, such as: equipment, machines or loans.
There are multiple types of life insurance. We will build simple models in Python using the …
The core of a financial cash flow model lies in its model variables. In this blog post, we will delve into the intricacies of different types of model variables and demonstrate how to create them using the cashflower package.

To define a model variable, follow these steps:
Model variables can produce results per time and model point. While most are time-dependent, some remain constant throughout. Let's explore both types. …
