"This article provides an insightful overview of the challenges encountered by the #insuranceindustry when applying the requirements of #ifrs17 to #reinsurance contracts... By delving into specific challenges and offering potential solutions, the article aims to shed light on the intricacies of implementing IFRS 17 and the resulting mismatches in #financialreporting, including their impact on #solvencyii practices."

While previous research has focused on #cyberrisk #riskmitigation measures, this study describes the emergence of various real-world cyber #risktransfer products in the last decade, including #warranties, #cloudcomputing partnerships, #parametricinsurance, #reinsurance, and #cyber #catbonds.

"In this article we analyze a sample of international #insurers between 2013 and 2022, and show that the purchase of #reinsurance is negatively related to their #sustainability, as measured by #esg scores. Furthermore, we illustrate that insurers' losses decrease with higher levels of reinsurance and sustainability. However, while reinsurance brings down insurers' profitability, sound ESG scores are related to lower expenses and increasing profitability. Our interpretation is that strong ESG profiles may serve as a cheaper alternative to reinsurance for #riskmitigation."

"We study an optimal #reinsurance problem under a diffusion #riskmodel for an #insurer who aims to minimize the #probability of lifetime ruin."

This paper explores the optimal #reinsurance design for an #insurer with multiple lines of business, where the dependence structure between #risks is unknown. The study considers Value-at-Risk (#var) and Range-Value-at-Risk (#rvar) as #riskmeasures and applies general premium principles. The optimal reinsurance strategies are obtained under budget constraint and expected profit constraint.

This article applies the Insurance Performance Measure (IPM) model to a set of #indian#insurance companies over the period 2005-2016, which is the first study to apply this model on real industry data. The IPM was introduced as a better way to assess industry and company performance for insurance companies as traditional #financialaccounting analysis is not suitable for the unique format of insurance company financials. IPM incorporates #underwriting, investment, and #reinsurance along with a hurdle rate and is consistent with Warren Buffett's desire for a balanced overview of industry performance. The model could help in identifying the threshold limit for overall profitability and in negotiations for reinsurance renewals.Read

"... we revisit the study of an optimal risk management strategy for an insurer who wants to maximize the expected utility by purchasing reinsurance and managing reinsurance counterparty risk with a default-free hedging instrument, where the reinsurance premium is calculated by the expected value principle and the price of the hedging instrument equals to the expected payoff plus a proportional loading."

This article offers a #riskmanagement framework specifically designed for the #insurance and #reinsurance industries to analyze the #capitalallocation of risk, capital budgeting, and capital structure decisions.

"We study blockchain adoption in insurance-reinsurance markets. Operating costs decrease with the adoption rate, since verification and storage costs are shared. We quantify how the equilibrium adoption decisions depend on contract characteristics, risk aversions, potential losses and cost structure. The reinsurance firm internalizes the benefits of adoption on other insurance firms, acting as a central planner. We characterize the adoption gap between decentralized (Nash) and centralized blockchain consortium."

"Using Cat bonds to transfer catastrophe risk substitutes not only the use of Cat reinsurance but also non-Cat reinsurance in the hard market, implying Cat bonds affect a ceding insurer’s diversification in both Cat and non-Cat lines of business in the reinsurance market."
