    Background Uncertainty and the Demand for Insurance Against Insurable Risks (1998)
    Springer
    The Geneva risk and insurance review 23 (1998), S. 7-27 
    Details
    ISSN: 1554-9658
    Keywords: insurance ; background risk ; prudence
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract Theory suggests that people facing higher uninsurable background risk buy more insurance against other risks that are insurable. This proposition is supported by Italian cross-sectional data. It is shown that the probability of purchasing casualty insurance increases with earnings uncertainty. This finding is consistent with consumer preferences being characterized by decreasing absolute prudence.

    A Model of an Oligopoly in an Insurance Market (1998)
    Springer
    The Geneva risk and insurance review 23 (1998), S. 41-48 
    Details
    ISSN: 1554-9658
    Keywords: insurance ; oligopoly ; imperfect competition
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract This article analyzes the behavior of an oligopoly of risk-averse insurers that insure many consumers facing identical independent risks; however, the probability of a loss is ex ante not known with certainty. It is shown that there is a continuum of equilibria in the Bertrand game. The most plausible equilibrium can be obtained by requiring that all insurers are content with the number of policies they sell given the equilibrium premium.

    Changes in Background Risk and the Demand for Insurance (1998)
    Springer
    The Geneva risk and insurance review 23 (1998), S. 29-40 
    Details
    ISSN: 1554-9658
    Keywords: background risk ; stochastic dominance ; coinsurance ; deductibles
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract The demand for insurance against loss from a particular risky asset is likely to depend on other risks the decision-maker faces. For independently distributed other risks, referred to as background risk, Eeckhoudt and Kimball [1992] determine the effect on insurance demand of introducing background risk. Recently, Eeckhoudt, Gollier, and Schlesinger [1996] determine conditions on preferences such that first- and second-degree stochastic deteriorations in background risk lead to a decrease in the decision-maker's willingness to accept other risks. These results, although formulated in a general decision model, also apply to insurance demand. This article continues analysis of this question by determining the effect on insurance demand of several other general changes in background risk.

    Long-Term Care Insurance and Life Insurance Demand (1998)
    Springer
    The Geneva risk and insurance review 23 (1998), S. 49-61 
    Details
    ISSN: 1554-9658
    Keywords: long-term care insurance ; life insurance
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract This article investigates the interaction between life insurance and long-term care insurance markets on the demand side. In the model utility depends on both consumption and bequest, and utility from consumption is contingent on the state of health. While the demand for life insurance increases both with decreasing income and with a rising degree of altruism, the influences of these two parameters on the demand for long-term care insurance are ambiguous. If the utility shock arising from disability declines, both insurance demands will rise.

    Risk Classification by Fuzzy Inference (1998)
    Springer
    The Geneva risk and insurance review 23 (1998), S. 63-82 
    Details
    ISSN: 1554-9658
    Keywords: fuzzy inference ; risk classification ; life insurance ; imprecise information
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract Traditionally, policyholders in life insurance are classified in simple mortality tables, most often according to only a few risk characteristics. Instead of a risk classification according to the numerical rating system, this article describes how to classify by using a fuzzy inference methodology. By defining risk factors as fuzzy sets, it is shown that an insurer can utilize multiple prognostic factors that are imprecise and vague. The presented fuzzy risk classification provides a more realistic way of modeling mortality risks since it allows for compensations and interactions between multiple risk factors.

    An Extended Family of Financial-Risk Measures (1998)
    Springer
    The Geneva risk and insurance review 23 (1998), S. 89-117 
    Details
    ISSN: 1554-9658
    Keywords: inequality ; risk ; utility
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract Recalling the class of risk measures introduced by Stone [1973], the authors survey measures from different academic disciplines—including psychology, operations research, management science, economics, and finance—that have been introduced since 1973. We introduce a general class of risk measures that extends Stone's class to include these new measures. Finally, we give four axioms that describe necessary attributes of a good financial risk measure and show which of the measures surveyed satisfy these. We demonstrate that all measures that satisfy our axioms, as well as those that do not but are commonly used in finance, belong to our new generalized class.

    Pareto-Improving Social Security Reform (1998)
    Springer
    The Geneva risk and insurance review 23 (1998), S. 119-125 
    Details
    ISSN: 1554-9658
    Keywords: social security ; privatization ; overlapping generations model ; endogenous growth
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract It is generally accepted that moving from an unfunded to a funded social security system implies a welfare loss for the transition generation—that is, the generation that has to pay twice: first, saving for its own retirement and, second, contributing to the pensions of the then retired generation. This article shows that in a setting of endogenous growth with positive externality such a transition can be Pareto improving. But it argues also that social security reform is more a pretext than a requirement for internalizing such a positive externality.

    A Reexamination of the Relationship Between Preferences and Moment Orderings by Rational Risk-Averse Investors (1998)
    Springer
    The Geneva risk and insurance review 23 (1998), S. 127-137 
    Details
    ISSN: 1554-9658
    Keywords: asset preferences ; utility functions ; moment orderings ; Von Neumann-Morgenstern rationality
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract This article examines the relationship between risk, return, skewness, and utility-based preferences. Examples are constructed showing that, for any commonly used utility function, it is possible to have two continuous unimodal random variables X and Y with positive and equal means, X having a larger variance and lower positive skewness than Y, and yet X has larger expected utility than Y, contrary to persistent folklore concerning U″′ 〉 0 implying skewness preference for risk averters. In additon, it is shown that ceteris paribus analysis of preferences and moments, as occasionally used in the literature, is impossible since equality of higher-order central moments implies the total equality of the distributions involved.

    Government Deposit Insurance and the Diamond-Dybvig Model (1998)
    Springer
    The Geneva risk and insurance review 23 (1998), S. 139-149 
    Details
    ISSN: 1554-9658
    Keywords: deposit insurance ; bank runs ; diamond dybuig model ; market failure
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract The apparent banking market failure modeled by Diamond and Dybvig [1983] rests on their inconsistently applying their “sequential servicing constraint” to private banks but not to their government deposit insurance agency. Without this inconsistency, banks can provide optimal risk-sharing without tax-based deposit insurance, even when the number of “type 1” agents is stochastic, by employing a “contingent bonus contract.” The threat of disintermediation noted by Jacklin [1987] in the nonstochastic case is still present but can be blocked by contractual trading restrictions. This article complements Wallace [1988], who considers an alternative resolution of this inconsistency.
