Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Financing recovery after disasters : explaining from property-liability insurance firms

Descrição física: 42 p.Notas: Sumario: Credit provides a means for uninsured households and businesses to manage disaster losses, but access to credit may be tenuous after severe events. Using lender fixed effects models, we examine how natural disasters affect the amount of credit supplied by community lenders in developing and emerging economies. We find that disasters reduce lending. We consider two potential causes of lending reductions: (1) disasters reduce expected returns on loans made after the event or (2) capital constraints (lenders' difficulty replacing equity lost during the event). We develop a dynamic model that informs our empirical identification of these causes and conclude that capital constraints cause observed credit contractions. We also examine the effects of insurance market development and find evidence that insurance preserves the creditworthiness of borrowers. Our results demonstrate pervasive disaster-related credit supply shocks in developing and emerging economies and identify new insurance market opportunities.Registros relacionados: En: The Journal of risk and insurance. - Nueva York : The American Risk and Insurance Association, 1964- = ISSN 0022-4367. - 03/06/2019 Volumen 86 Número 2 - junio 2019 , p. 479-520Materia / lugar / evento: Catástrofes naturales Mercado de seguros Países emergentes Seguro de daños patrimoniales Riesgo crediticio Análisis empírico Otros autores: Babich, Volodymyr O.
