Ochrona klienta ubezpieczeń w Polsce

Ewa Wierzbicka

Kwartalnik Nauk o Przedsiębiorstwie > 2015 > 35 > 2 > 71-79

Celem artykułu jest wskazanie potrzeby zwiększenia w Polsce ochrony klienta zakładów ubezpieczeń, która ma wymiar nie tylko indywidualny, ale także makroekonomiczny. Nie można patrzeć na ubezpieczenie wyłącznie przez pryzmat indywidualnego zarządzania ryzykiem. Ważne jest również ryzyko systemowe i makroekonomiczne. Niski poziom ubezpieczenia ryzyka, w tym też klientów indywidualnych, oraz niedostateczne...

Do people drive safer when accidents are more expensive: Testing for moral hazard in experience rating schemes

Tomislav Vukina, Danijel Nestić, T. Vukina, D. Nestic

Transportation Research Part A > 2015 > 71 > Complete > 46-58

Using individual policies and claims data from the Croatian mandatory motor insurance we test the theoretical proposition that under moral hazard, experience rated pricing scheme should generate the negative state dependence in claims, i.e. that drivers should drive more safely after they had an accident. The empirical challenge in these tests is to disentangle the state dependence from unobserved...

Natural catastrophe insurance: How should the government intervene?

Arthur Charpentier, Benoît Le Maux, A. Charpentier, B. Le Maux

Journal of Public Economics > 2014 > 115 > Complete > 1-17

This paper develops a theoretical framework for analyzing the decision to provide or buy insurance against the risk of natural catastrophes. In contrast to conventional models of insurance, the insurer has a non-zero probability of insolvency which depends on the distribution of the risks, the premium rate, and the amount of capital in the company. When the insurer is insolvent, each loss reduces...

The economic insurance value of ecosystem resilience

Stefan Baumgärtner, Sebastian Strunz, S. Baumgartner, S. Strunz

Ecological Economics > 2014 > 101 > Complete > 21-32

Ecosystem resilience, i.e. an ecosystem's ability to maintain its basic functions and controls under disturbances, is often interpreted as insurance: by decreasing the probability of future drops in the provision of ecosystem services, resilience insures risk-averse ecosystem users against potential welfare losses. Using a general and stringent definition of ''insurance'' and a simple ecological-economic...

Publiczne fundusze socjalne – istota oraz organizacja i funkcjonowanie w Polsce

Tadeusz Szumlicz

Studia z Polityki Publicznej > 2014 > 1 > 1(1) > 81-100

W racjonalizowaniu systemu zabezpieczenia społecznego, który ma zapewniać określony standard bezpieczeństwa socjalnego, istotne znaczenie powinna mieć możliwość zastosowania w nim rozwiązań finansowych o charakterze publicznych funduszy celowych, związanych z danym ryzykiem społecznym. Takie podejście do realizacji jednej z socjalnych funkcji państwa umożliwiałoby dokładniejsze przyjrzenie się ważnemu...

Offering rainfall insurance to informal insurance groups: Evidence from a field experiment in Ethiopia

Stefan Dercon, Ruth Vargas Hill, Daniel Clarke, Ingo Outes-Leon, more

Journal of Development Economics > 2014 > 106 > Complete > 132-143

We show theoretically that the presence of basis risk in index insurance makes it a complement to informal risk sharing, implying that index insurance crowds-in risk sharing and leading to a prediction that demand will be higher among groups of individuals that can share risk. We report results from Ethiopia from a first attempt to market weather insurance to informal risk-sharing groups. The groups...

Does inequality impede risk management? Evidence from a lab experiment in Ghana

Richard A. Gallenstein

Journal of Risk and Insurance > 91 > 3 > 499 - 528

Low income households in agrarian developing economies face considerable livelihood risks, which have negative impacts on welfare. A growing literature focuses on internal constraints on development, which can negatively affect saving and investment behavior. Here I propose that internal constraints may also hinder risk management. Specifically, I present a theoretical model that explores how fairness...

Andrew Proudfoot, Sarah Duffy, Justin Sinclair, Jason Abbott, more

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology > 64 > 4 > 411 - 415

People with endometriosis use cannabis to manage their symptoms. This study aimed to identify costs, modes of administration, product composition, and self‐reported effectiveness for those accessing medicinal cannabis in Australia. There were 192 survey responses analysed. Most (63.5%) used a ‘cannabis clinic’ doctor, incurring an initial consultation cost of $100–$200+ (10.2% Medicare bulk‐billed)...

Factors influencing United States cattle producers use of livestock risk protection

Christopher N. Boyer, Karen L. DeLong, Andrew P. Griffith, Charles C. Martinez

Agricultural Economics > 55 > 4 > 677 - 689

United States cattle producers have various government‐sponsored programs to protect against weather and disease related risks, but livestock risk protection (LRP) insurance is the only program that protects against price risk. However, adoption of LRP insurance is low even though cattle price declines are the primary cause of economic loss, and LRP premium subsidies have recently been increased....

Endogenous Information and Simplifying Insurance Choice

Zach Y. Brown, Jihye Jeon

Econometrica > 92 > 3 > 881 - 911

In markets with complicated products, individuals may choose how much time and effort to spend understanding and comparing alternatives. Focusing on insurance choice, we find evidence consistent with individuals acquiring more information when there are larger consequences from making an uninformed choice. Building on the rational inattention literature, we develop and estimate a parsimonious demand...

Insurers' climate change risk management quality and natural disasters

Thomas R. Berry‐Stölzle, Simon Fritzsch, Philipp Scharner, Gregor Weiß

Journal of Risk and Insurance > 91 > 2 > 263 - 298

We perform a textual analysis of insurers' climate risk disclosures and construct a climate change risk management quality index. Our index captures to what extent insurers identify, manage, and adjust their business model to climate change risk. We find that natural disasters in an insurer's home state lead to an increase in climate change risk management quality. The effect of natural disasters...

The importance of equity in payments to encourage coexistence with large mammals

Joseph Hamm, George Holmes, Julia Martin‐Ortega

Conservation Biology > 38 > 3 > n/a - n/a

Large mammals often impose significant costs such as livestock depredation or crop foraging on rural communities, and this can lead to the retaliatory killing of threatened wildlife populations. One conservation approach—payments to encourage coexistence (PEC)—aims to reduce these costs through financial mechanisms, such as compensation, insurance, revenue sharing, and conservation performance payments...

Associations between Medicaid enrollment and diagnosis stage and survival among pediatric cancer patients

Kimberly J. Johnson, Derek S. Brown, Caitlin P. O'Connell, Tess Thompson, more

Pediatric Blood & Cancer > 71 > 5 > n/a - n/a

Background Medicaid‐associated disparities in childhood and adolescent (pediatric) cancer diagnosis stage and survival have been reported. However, a key limitation of prior studies is the assessment of health insurance at a single time point. To evaluate Medicaid‐associated disparities more robustly, we used Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)–Medicaid linked data to examine diagnosis...
