Insurance Europe: EU taxonomy: insurers call for changes to simplify green investment rules

Insurance Europe supports simplifying the EU’s Taxonomy Regulation, advocating for reduced reporting burdens. It calls for suspending the insurance underwriting KPI, introducing a 10% materiality filter for the investment KPI, and simplifying reporting templates. The industry backs EU efforts to enhance sustainability while ensuring practical and effective regulatory measures.

EIOPA proposes one‑to‑one capital requirements for EU insurers’ crypto asset holdings

EIOPA highlights the lack of consistent regulatory treatment for crypto assets in the (re)insurance sector, raising concerns about risk sensitivity. Current capital weight options may underestimate crypto risks. To ensure prudence, EIOPA proposes a uniform 100% capital requirement for all crypto holdings. This approach balances risk management with simplicity while acknowledging that future market growth may require revisions. A review of crypto treatment under Solvency II is recommended as the sector evolves.

Optimal Insurance Policies and Saving in a Temporal World

Date : Tags : , , ,
The study examines Pareto optimal risk sharing in insurance with consumption substitution and saving in a two-period model. It confirms the robustness of classical risk-sharing results, even with recursive utility, and explores the link between consumption elasticity and saving. Precautionary savings and partial separation of risk aversion are demonstrated.

How Much Insurance is Right For You?

Date : Tags : , , , , ,
Insurance decisions range from trivial to significant, accumulating impact over time. Intuition can mislead, especially when premiums rise due to risk. Key factors include hazard size, wealth, risk aversion, and insurer margins. Greater transparency in insurance margins can help families make informed choices, improving financial well-being and societal welfare.

Insurance in a Changing Climate: A Retrospective Study of Water‑Related Claims and Pricing Strategies in Norway

This study examines climate change's impact on water-related home insurance claims in Norway using a unique dataset. It develops a statistical model to address claim data challenges, reveals geographical and seasonal risk patterns, and evaluates pricing strategies. The findings provide insights for insurers to adapt to evolving climate risks.

Stochastic Loss Reserving: Dependence and Estimation

Date : Tags : , , , , , ,
Insurers face complex risk dependencies in loss reserving. Additive background risk models (ABRMs) offer interpretable structures but can be restrictive. Estimation challenges arise in models without closed-form likelihoods. Using a modified continuous generalized method of moments (CGMM), comparable to Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE), addresses these challenges in certain loss reserving models, including stable distributions.

How loss reduction costs and testing for severity risk affect insurance decisions

This paper explores moral hazard in insurance when individuals test for risk severity. It highlights how regulations and loss reduction costs impact behavior. Monetary costs lead to uniform loss reduction, while convex costs drive higher-risk individuals to reduce losses more. Insurers can incentivize risk discovery and reduction through tailored contracts.
