Efficient Monopolies - The Limits of Competition in the European Property Insurance Market (Hardcover): Thomas Von... Efficient Monopolies - The Limits of Competition in the European Property Insurance Market (Hardcover)

This book presents startling evidence that state monopolies can produce better outcomes than the free market. It provides an empirical comparison of the property insurance market in five European countries: Britain, Spain, France, Switzerland, and Germany. The market and cost structures of insurers in each country are described, and particular features of each market and the outcomes for customers examined. The regulatory frameworks vary widely from country to country and so do the market outcomes, both in terms of premium level and in terms of available insurance cover. In view of the increase in major floods and other forms of natural damage (such as subsidence) over the last decades, the non-availability of insurance cover in many competitive insurance systems is likely to become a major political issue. This book shows that state monopoly is an adequate policy response. Competitive insurance systems are shown to provide incomplete cover at a substantially higher cost. In mixed systems, where the private sector can obtain reinsurance from the state (such a system is being tried in France) the state tends to end up paying most of the costs (it reinsures most of the bad risks) while the private insurance companies keep most of the premium income. The book will be of interest to academic economists interested in privatization, regulation, the theory of the firm, and insurance; Policy-makers concerned with regulation and privatization; Insurance companies, regulators, and analysts.

Meine Kollegen am Institut fUr Wirtschaftspolitik I an der Universitat Bonn haben mir durch ihre Anregungen und Diskussions bereitschaft sehr geholfen. Zu besonderem Dank bin ich dabei meinen Freunden Michael A dam s, Thomas Han c hen und Urs S c h wei z e r verpflichtet. In tiefster Schuld stehe ich jedoch bei den Herren Professoren Martin H ell wig und Carl Christian von Wei z sac k e r. Ohne ihre anregenden Kommentare und endlose Geduld hatte diese Arbeit sicherlich nie entstehen konnen. Beide haben, jeder auf seine Art, meine wissenschaftliche Weiterentwicklung sehr gefordert. Ich hoffe, dass sich die Zeit und MUhe, die sie in mich investiert haben, gelohnt haben.
