Abstract

THE HANDBOOK OF INTERNATIONAL INSURANCE Gordon Stewart, President, Insurance Information Institute, New York, USA "The globalization of insurance markets means that understanding both international developments and local trends around the world is now fundamental for insurance executives coping with today’s complex and competitive environment. By providing such a comprehensive picture of the world’s insurance markets, this unique and necessary book becomes an essential tool for anyone seeking to operate wisely and successfully. Richard D. Phillips, Professor and Chairman, Department of Risk Management and Insurance, Georgia State University, Atlanta, USA "Comprehensive surveys, written by international experts, provide in depth descriptions and discuss recent developments of the world’s major insurance markets. Each chapter contains essential insights for insurance executives and academic researchers interested in risk management and the globalization of insurance markets." Patrick Liedtke, Secretary General and Managing Director, the Geneva Association, Switzerland "This book depicts in an outstanding way the dichotomy of the insurance world today, which is still torn between global approaches and local solutions. Both insurance professionals and academics will profit enormously from its intelligent insights." Raimond Maurer, Professor, Goethe-University Frankfurt, Germany "In today's high competition environment, the understanding of international insurance markets is crucial to sustain an insurance company’s competitive advantage. This book makes a major contribution to that understanding." Edited by: J. David Cummins, Harry J. Loman Professor of Insurance and Risk Management, Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, USA Bertrand Venard, Professor of Management, Audencia. Nantes School of Management, France.

Abstract

In classical life insurance mathematics the obligations of the insurance company towards the policy holders were calculated on artificial conservative assumptions on mortality and interest rates. However, this approach is being superseded by developments in international accounting and solvency standards coupled with other advances enabling a market-based valuation of risk, i.e., its price if traded in a free market. The book describes these approaches, and is the first to explain them in conjunction with more traditional methods. The various chapters address specific aspects of market-based valuation. The exposition integrates methods and results from financial and insurance mathematics, and is based on the entries in a life insurance company's market accounting scheme. The book will be of great interest and use to students and practitioners who need an introduction to this area, and who seek a practical yet sound guide to life insurance accounting and product development.
