The Effectiveness Of Pasture, Rangeland, And Forage Insurance, Jonathon Frost
The Effectiveness Of Pasture, Rangeland, And Forage Insurance, Jonathon Frost
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
This thesis research tests the historical usefulness and desirability of pasture, rangeland, and forage insurance for ranchers in Utah. PRF insurance is specifically for ranchers who own livestock and rely on their livestock to graze in the fields for food consumption. If there is inadequate precipitation, there will be less grass growth for livestock which causes ranchers to purchase hay, leading to higher feed costs. It is similar to other insurance policies requiring premium and indemnity payments. By analyzing the historical payments, a decisive conclusion can be made that PRF suits both ranchers and USDA policymakers. Other studies that discussed …
Modelling Climate Litigation Risk For (Re)Insurers, Martin Lockman
Modelling Climate Litigation Risk For (Re)Insurers, Martin Lockman
Sabin Center for Climate Change Law
In response to the growing threat of climate change, the insurance industry has made significant investments in modelling and quantifying physical climate risks. However, the emerging risk of climate litigation has proven particularly difficult to model. In 2015 Mark Carney, then-Governor of the Bank of England and Chairman of the Financial Stability Board, warned that climate litigation poses “long-tail risks” for insurers that may be “significant, uncertain and non-linear.” Since that warning, the number of climate-related cases has more than doubled, and the scope and financial significance of climate litigation has become increasingly clear. However, insurers and regulators still struggle …

Consumer Reaction To The Use Of Artificial Intelligence Chatbot On Distribution Of General Insurance In Singapore, Lai Hing Tan
Dissertations and Theses Collection (Open Access)
As technology rapidly permeates all aspects of our lives, it is not unusual to question and even challenge the rationale on why certain industries are slower to adapt to the new digital age. Insurance is a business that is under scrutiny given its traditional ways of selling and legacy challenges. Why is technology investment in insurance companies lagging others? One emerging technological disruption is artificial intelligence (AI). It is the science of designing and building intelligent systems that can complete tasks traditionally performed by humans. AI is expected to fundamentally transform today’s marketplace, for businesses and consumers alike. However, because …
Insurance Role From Car Accidents In Compensation Rights For The Affected And Its Organization In Iraqi Law, Hammoodi Bakir
Insurance Role From Car Accidents In Compensation Rights For The Affected And Its Organization In Iraqi Law, Hammoodi Bakir
Journal of STEPS for Humanities and Social Sciences
Liability insurance is a type of damage insurance which represents the best legal guarantee for the affected people from car accidents by obtaining their right to compensation. As a result of the large, noticeable and terrifying increase in accidents as a result of the increase in the activity of vehicles of all kinds, liability insurance in this area has become mandatory and not optional for every car owner. Despite the advantages that the compulsory insurance system for car accidents achieved in the application, it seemed that the defects of this system appeared to surface, which requires searching for an alternative …

Case Study In Enterprise Risk Management: Lion Rock Summer Camps, Inc., Arthur Meaney
Honors Theses
Enterprise risk management is a crucial part of the modern business world. Being unprepared to handle risks that a company may face can lead to financial demise. Since the 1960s, the insurance industry has steadily moved away from the focus on insurance buying. Enterprise risk management strives to identify company-wide risks, evaluate their frequency and severity, come up with risk management and loss control methods, implement said methods, and monitor their effectiveness over time. In this case study, I identify risks for Lion Rock Summer Camps, Inc. and suggest various risk management and loss control methods. Lion Rock Summer Camps, …

Third Party Moral Hazard And The Problem Of Insurance Externalities, Gideon Parchomovsky, Peter Siegelman
Third Party Moral Hazard And The Problem Of Insurance Externalities, Gideon Parchomovsky, Peter Siegelman
All Faculty Scholarship
Insurance can lead to loss or claim-creation not just by insureds themselves, but also by uninsured third parties. These externalities—which we term “third party moral hazard”—arise because insurance creates opportunities both to extract rents and to recover for otherwise unrecoverable losses. Using examples from health, automobile, kidnap, and liability insurance, we demonstrate that the phenomenon is widespread and important, and that the downsides of insurance are greater than previously believed. We explain the economic, social and psychological reasons for this phenomenon, and propose policy responses. Contract-based methods that are traditionally used to control first-party moral hazard can be welfare-reducing in …
Navigating The Impact Of Covid-19 On Small Commercial Businesses And Insurance Companies, And A Call To Action For Future Communicable Disease Outbreaks, Natalie Pena
Honors Program Theses and Research Projects
The short-term and long-term effects of Covid-19 have caused many small commercial businesses to face financial hardships, loss of employees, and even closures for entities that were already experiencing low profit margins. Distraught with their businesses suffering, owners turned to their primary insurance companies to receive compensation through their business interruption policies. However, most insureds were upset when they discovered that their insurance plans did not include communicable diseases and pandemics as a covered peril. This led to many small businesses battling these issues in the courts and fighting for insurance companies to provide financial assistance to them during this …

Predictors Of Fraudulent Monday Effect Workers Compensation Claims Filing, Sharla St. Rose
Predictors Of Fraudulent Monday Effect Workers Compensation Claims Filing, Sharla St. Rose
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Monday Effect Claims refer to workers compensation claims filed on Mondays for easy to conceal injuries such as strains, sprains, and back injuries. Researchers and industry experts have long believed that there is an element of fraud in these claims, resulting from individuals who were injured during the weekend, while not at work, looking to take advantage of the medical benefits available through workers compensation insurance. Fraudulent Monday Effect Claims (FMEC), as presented in this study, specifically refer to workers compensation claims filed for injuries that occurred while an individual was not at work, presumably during the weekend.

Digital Disruption In The Financial Services Industry: The Emergence Of Fintech, Alex Guenther
Honors Program Theses and Projects
Financial services, traditionally consisting of banking, asset management, lending, insurance, and payment systems, are facing a perfect storm brought on by technological innovation and shifting customer expectations. Such changes have exposed a gap in the financial services space between those who have access and those who do not. Traditional financial institutions have been hindered in pursuing strategies of financial inclusion to large underserved and underbanked populations. There is a major opportunity for financial technology companies to alter the competitive dynamics in an industry that has long been dominated by major banks and other large financial institutions. ‘Fintech’, as it is …

With a database of over 3 million records as the data source, a workflow is constructed via a …

Revman: Revenue-Aware Multi-Task Online Insurance Recommendation, Yu Li, Yi Zhang, Lu Gan, Gengwei Hong, Zimu Zhou, Qiang Li
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Online insurance is a new type of e-commerce with exponential growth. An effective recommendation model that maximizes the total revenue of insurance products listed in multiple customized sales scenarios is crucial for the success of online insurance business. Prior recommendation models are ineffective because they fail to characterize the complex relatedness of insurance products in multiple sales scenarios and maximize the overall conversion rate rather than the total revenue. Even worse, it is impractical to collect training data online for total revenue maximization due to the business logic of online insurance. We propose RevMan, a Revenue-aware Multi-task Network for online …

Financial Impact Of Social Responsibility On Publicly Traded Insurers, Alaina Josette Winman
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Despite significant annual spending on corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives, automobile insurance company stakeholders are not aware if there is a relationship between CSR spending and earnings per share (EPS). Leaders of publicly traded automobile insurance companies will benefit from understanding if CSR affects EPS and value creation so they can plan CSR spending and stakeholder management strategies. Grounded in the theoretical framework of stakeholder management theory and signaling theory, the purpose of this quantitative ex-post facto study was to determine if there was a relationship between charitable donations, community development spending, environmental spending, and EPS. Data were collected from …
The Effects Of Catastrophes On Insurance And Reinsurance Markets, Joshua Albin
The Effects Of Catastrophes On Insurance And Reinsurance Markets, Joshua Albin
Mathematical Science: Student Scholarship & Creative Works
In recent years, we have seen quite a few large catastrophes, ranging from natural disasters to pandemics, have a huge impact on the lives of everyday Americans. In particular, the devastating effects of the Coronavirus have shown how important it is to prepare for these catastrophes. Both insurance and reinsurance companies must ensure they can transfer some of the risk of these low-frequency, high-severity events to other entities. However, it is difficult to know how much risk-sharing is needed, considering it is tough to predict future catastrophes. Therefore, this paper analyzes the effects of catastrophes on the insurance and reinsurance …
