Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - What policy features determine life insurance lapse? an analysis of the German market

Notas: Sumario: With the largest data set ever used for this purpose (covering more than 1 million contracts), we analyze the impact of product and policyholder characteristics on lapse in the life insurance market. The data are provided by a German life insurer and cover two periods of market turmoil that we incorporate into our proportional hazards and generalized linear models. The results show that product characteristics such as product type or contract age and policyholder characteristics such as age or gender are important drivers for lapse rates. Our findings improve the understanding of lapse drivers and might be used by insurance managers and regulators for value- and risk-based management.Registros relacionados: En: The Journal of risk and insurance. - Nueva York : The American Risk and Insurance Association, 1964- = ISSN 0022-4367. - 02/06/2014 Volumen 81 Número 2 - junio 2014 , p. 241-270Materia / lugar / evento: Seguro de vida Seguro de personas Contrato de seguro Estudios comparativos Productos de seguros Factores de riesgo Citas bibliográficas Mercado de seguros Alemania Otros autores: Kiesenbauer, Dieter
