Insurance Decision Making and Market Behavior
ISBN: 9781933019253 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Considerable evidence suggests that many people for whom insurance is worth purchasing do not have coverage and others who appear not to need financial protection against certain events actually have purchased coverage. There are certain types of events for which one might expect to see insurance widely marketed are now viewed today by insurers as uninsurable and there are other policies one might not expect to be successfully marketed that exist on a relatively large scale. In addition, evidence suggests that cost-effective preventive measures are sometimes rewarded by insurers in ways that...

Distorted Probabilities and Choice Under Risk
ISBN: 9783540542476 / Angielski / Miękka / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During the development of modern probability theory in the 17th cen tury it was commonly held that the attractiveness of a gamble offering the payoffs:1:17: l: with probabilities Pl, . . ., Pn is given by its expected n value L:: l: iPi. Accordingly, the decision problem of choosing among different such gambles - which will be called prospects or lotteries in the sequel-was thought to be solved by maximizing the corresponding expected values. The famous St. Petersburg paradox posed by Nicholas Bernoulli in 1728, however, conclusively demonstrated the fact that individuals l consider more than...

Financial Risk in Insurance
ISBN: 9783540661436 / Angielski / Miękka / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When "Financial Risk in Insurance" appeared in 1995, we would not have imag- ined that this text would find such a wide readership. After all actuarial col- leagues had received the text automatically through their subscription to the 1993 AFIR colloquium in Rome. So the demand must have come from outside of our own professional circles, we believe from researchers and practitioners in finance. Both in 1996 and 1997 further copies needed to be printed. We therefore applaud the initiative by Springer to make this text available in the form of a soft-cover edition. We hope that this new edition...

Lundberg Approximations for Compound Distributions with Insurance Applications
ISBN: 9780387951355 / Angielski / Miękka / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. These notes represent our summary of much of the recent research that has been done in recent years on approximations and bounds that have been developed for compound distributions and related quantities which are of interest in insurance and other areas of application in applied probability. The basic technique employed in the derivation of many bounds is induc- tive, an approach that is motivated by arguments used by Sparre-Andersen (1957) in connection with a renewal risk model in insurance. This technique is both simple and powerful, and yields quite general results. The bounds themselves...

ISBN: 9780198201274 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is a study of one of the central themes of pre-1914 British history: the move toward social reform and the accompanying growth of collectivism and bureaucracy. Focusing on Britain's efforts to adopt compulsory social insurance, which was pioneered by Germany in the 1880s and has since been instituted across the world, Hennock probes into the problems inherent in borrowing from a vastly different political culture. Relating Britain's policy on compensation for industrial accidents, old age pensions, and national insurance legislation to reforms in other spheres in which German precedents...

National Health Insurance in the United States and Canada: Race, Territory, and the Roots of Difference
ISBN: 9781589012066 / Angielski / Miękka / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. After World War II, the United States and Canada, two countries that were very similar in many ways, struck out on radically divergent paths to public health insurance. Canada developed a universal single-payer system of national health care, while the United States opted for a dual system that combines public health insurance for low-income and senior residents with private, primarily employer-provided health insurance--or no insurance--for everyone else. In National Health Insurance in the United States and Canada, Gerard W. Boychuk probes the historical development of health care...

Modeled after Wisconsin's own unemployment compensation plan in the 1930s, federal unemployment insurance has long been considered one of the most important public policy achievements of the New Deal. Always paying benefits according to legislative and administrative guidelines and never requiring a taxpayer bailout, the program has nonetheless undergone strains induced by structural changes in both the economy and the prevailing political milieu. An outgrowth of a conference to celebrate the program's fiftieth anniversary, the papers collected in this volume describe the history of the...

Competitive Factors of Industrial Insurers
ISBN: 9783639010466 / Angielski / Miękka / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The consolidation among German carriers and a wave of new foreign providers have changed the conditions in the German industrial insurance market drastically. To stay competitive nowadays, industrial insurers have to adjust to the modified conditions of competition and have to develop new strategic competitive advantages. The key issue for carriers is thereby the identification, development and fostering of determinants which influence the buying decision of insurance buyers. The buyer perception of overall competitiveness is strongly related to the actual decision to buy.
