Abstract
In this paper, we bootstrap data on Canadian pensioners' mortality (spanning 1999-2008) that was recently published by the CIA (2014) in order to study the characteristics of its implied heterogeneity. We find strong support for the gamma frailty model. It is remarkable that our results are obtained without making any distributional assumption.
