Insurance Economics and Finance

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on the broad topic of “Insurance Economics and Finance”. We encourage contributions across the breadth of research in insurance including:

• Theoretical and empirical work on the design and development of insurance products and markets for life and non-life insurance. Empirical studies of both general and specific types of insurance are of interest. Methodologically, traditional as well as novel behavioural and experimental approaches are of interest.
• Market failure and insurance coverage including insights for regulation and public provision of coverage.
• The role of insurance in corporate risk management.
• Developments in risk transfer in insurance and reinsurance.
• The role of insurance in managing climate risks, including the design of insurance products and regulation to ensure the effective management and mitigation of these risks.
• The role of insurance in managing major health and environmental risks.
• Business interruption insurance and the insurance of non-communicable diseases.
• The access and provision of private and public medical insurance.
• Annuities and retirement products.
• The challenge of providing long-term care insurance and health insurance.

Regulation and solvency rules relating to insurance and reinsurance markets.

Prof. Dr. David Webb
Guest Editor
