Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Life and health insurance consumption in China : demographic and environmental risks

Notes: Sumario: This research investigates life and health (LH) insurance consumption by exploiting the significant regional differences in socio-economic, demographic, and environmental factors in China. This paper further decomposes LH insurance consumption into three types: protection, investment, and health products. We find that changes in demographic conditions associated with the one-child policy, the urbanisation process, an ageing population and imbalanced dependency ratio are significantly related to the consumption of LH insurance, and environmental degradation risk is significantly related to the consumption of health insurance. The empírical results also suggest that insurers' characteristics and pricing strategies are additional important determinants of LH insurance consumptionRelated records: En: Geneva papers on risk and insurance : issues and practice. - Geneva : The Geneva Association, 1976- = ISSN 1018-5895. - 01/01/2019 Volumen 44 Número 1 - enero 2019 , p. 67-101Materia / lugar / evento: Seguro de vida Seguro de salud Comportamiento del consumidor Inversiones Productos de seguros Estudios estadísticos Perspectivas del seguro China Other categories: 34
