"We propose a new conceptual framework grouping government interventions into three dimensions: regulation of risky activity, public investment in risk reduction, and co-insurance."

"As businesses improved their resilience, cybercriminals adapted and ransoms escalated, calling insurability into question. Yet there remains little appetite for imposing restrictive conditionality in this highly competitive market. Instead, insurers have turned to governments to contain criminal threats and cushion catastrophic losses."

"We argue that datafication of insurer processes may fuel excessive data collection in the context of insurance contracts, generating a substantial risk of harm to consumers, especially in terms of discrimination, exclusion, and unaffordability of insurance. "

"Insurance fraud has been a long-lasting issue in actuarial modeling. Policyholders are prone to hide their true status in their best interest when disclosing their information for insurance pricing purposes. However, from the insurers' point of view, it is either time-consuming or laborious to verify the true status of such risk factors. There is thus a strong incentive to build models accounting for potential misrepresentation, which contributes to a more robust ratemaking system."

"Our findings show that demand is overall higher to insure separate risks than to cover all risks together in a bundled insurance policy in the UK, whereas no significant difference is found between demand for bundled insurance and single policy insurance in the Netherlands. This difference in preference across the two countries is partly associated with whether individuals have been flooded in the past, which is more often the case in the UK than the Netherlands."

"... most modified coinsurance is purchased from reinsurers located in countries with lower regulatory capital requirements and within the same insurance holding group. Our findings expose how insurers use reinsurance to obfuscate their asset risk."

"... insurance pricing can accelerate the incorporation of climate risk in asset markets."

"... we characterize Pareto-optimal risk-sharing contracts in a market with multiple policyholders and one representative insurer. With minimal assumptions on the risk measures of the parties involved, we characterize Pareto optimality in terms of the minimization of a sum of the agents' risk positions, and we relate it to both the core and coalitional stability of an associated market game. In the special case of coherent risk measures, the optimal indemnity schedules are further characterized in explicit form, in terms of what can be called "worst-case probability measures". "

"We distinguish three main types of cyber risks: idiosyncratic, systematic, and systemic cyber risks. While for idiosyncratic and systematic cyber risks, classical actuarial and financial mathematics appear to be well-suited, systemic cyber risks require more sophisticated approaches that capture both network and strategic interactions."

"This model allows to be more conservative regarding extreme events while keeping tractability. We give a method based on Conditional Least Squares to estimate the parameters on daily data and estimate our model on eight major European cities... This new model allows to better assess the risk related to temperature volatility."
