The Economics and Regulation of Insurance Markets

24th June 2019 - 26th June 2019, Florence, Italy

This course provides an introduction to research on the intersection between insurance and financial economics. Starting from what modern insurance companies do and their role in the broader economy, we develop a unifying framework to study the pricing and design of insurance contracts, reinsurance decisions, and asset allocation strategies in equilibrium. In addition to developing the theory, we discuss how to estimate the models and how to use them to answer policy questions.
