Ce volume est le cinquième de la série consacrée aux aspects fondamentaux des assurances. Il propose une analyse approfondie de l’évaluation, de la gestion et de la compensation des risques systémiques auxquels sont exposés les acteurs du marché et les assureurs. Cette vaste étude répond aux préoccupations croissantes des acteurs économiques, financiers, politiques et sociaux quant à l’exposition sans cesse accrue des entreprises et de leurs assureurs à de nouveaux risques en expansion. Ces risques sont notamment liés aux catastrophes naturelles et à la pollution environnementale, au développement technologique, à la santé et au terrorisme. Pour les assureurs, la difficulté est surtout d’évaluer et de couvrir de façon adéquate la responsabilité potentiellement engendrée par ces risques. Cet ouvrage présente également une série de recommandations à l’adresse des décideurs politiques et des entreprises sur la manière de limiter, prévenir et gérer ces risques. Dans cette perspective, ce volume constituera un ouvrage de référence unique à l’attention tant des pays de l’OCDE que des économies émergentes.

Index based insurance schemes can play a vital role in insuring poor people in developing countries against a multitude of risk. However, the concept doesn’t go along without any obstacles. Matthias Rödl provides a theoretical framework of index based insurance schemes and further highlights where the latter distinguishes from a classic indemnity insurance. Thereby, scholars can gain a comprehensive theoretical insight into the topic, while practitioners are enabled to identify and understand fundamental challenges for their project upfront as well as to foster sound solutions.

What a pleasure it is to discover the second edition of the Handbook of Insurance, twelve years after the first! Many key concepts at the core of risk, uncertainty and insurance economics have been further refined, reassessed, and reanalyzed. New issues have emerged, including systemic risk, longevity risk, long-term care, the corporate governance of insurance companies, capital allocation within insurance companies and alternative risk transfer devices. I have a simple wish: that this handbook be diffused to as wide an audience as possible, both in academic and professional spheres. Denis Kessler Chairman and CEO of SCOR This new edition of the Handbook of Insurance reviews the last forty years of research developments in insurance and its related fields. A single reference source for professors, researchers, graduate students, regulators, consultants, and practitioners, the book starts with the history and foundations of risk and insurance theory, followed by a review of prevention and precaution, asymmetric information, risk management, insurance pricing, new financial innovations, reinsurance, corporate governance, capital allocation, securitization, systemic risk, insurance regulation, the industrial organization of insurance markets, and other insurance market applications. It ends with health insurance, longevity risk, long-term care insurance, life insurance financial products, and social insurance. This second version of the Handbook contains 15 new chapters. Each of the 37 chapters has been written by leading authorities in risk and insurance research, all contributions have been peer reviewed, and each chapter can be read independently of the others.
