520  ‎$a‎Our overali aim in this research is to identify the effects of the business mix of insurers on their overail reinsurance usage, based on the use of the Cragg (Econometrica39: 829-844, 1971) model, for our analysis of the reinsurance decisions made by insurers in the U.K. life insurance industry between 2005 and 2014. Our findings reveal a positive (negative) correlation between with-profit (unit-linked) business and reinsurance, thereby indicating that insurers underwriting riskier product mixes have a higher demand for reinsurance. We go on to separate total reinsurance into internal and external reinsurance before carrying out further analyses. Our results reveal that insurers underwriting more with-profit business appear to use more internal reinsurance, which would seem to imply that internal reinsurance could be more cost effective for those reinsurance transactions involving greater managerial discretion.
