Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The non-life insurance industry is experiencing profound changes fueled by climate change, technological advancements, and shifting risk dynamics. Innovations in machine learning, IoT ecosystems, and parametric risk transfer are reshaping traditional actuarial methods. Meanwhile, events such as COVID-19 and the increasing frequency of natural disasters highlight the pressing need to close protection gaps in an evolving risk environment. At the same time, the rapid growth of InsurTech solutions calls for innovative strategies with which to harmonize technological progress with regulatory compliance.
This Special Issue seeks to bring together pioneering research on methodological advancements and practical applications in non-life insurance risk modeling, pricing, reserving, and alternative risk transfer strategies. We particularly recognize the need to integrate climate science, real-time data analytics, and decentralized technologies into actuarial frameworks. Submissions should address, but are not limited to, the following themes:
- Digital transformation and InsurTech.
- Climate change and parametric insurance.
- Cyber insurance and emerging risks.
- Green insurance products and ESG insurance regulation.
- Innovations in catastrophe risk modeling/pricing.
- Peer-to-peer (P2P) insurance and mutual risk sharing.
- Innovations in auto insurance pricing and reserving.
We look forward to your valuable contributions to this Special Issue.
