題名: | The effect of microinsurance on the insurance market: evidence from Taiwan | 作者: | 何靜嫺 Ho, Shirley J. Hsu, Hsui-Hao |

Will insurers really benefit from serving a larger amount of customers? This paper attempts to provide answers by examining the performance of life insurers in Taiwan. Our results show that microinsurance dummy variables are negatively related to efficiency scores and premium income in both OLS and Tobit models. Providing microinsurance products will increase competition between micro and traditional insurance products and reduce market demand for traditional insurance. The efficiency and premium income of traditional insurers will decrease if the price of microinsurance is regulated at marginal cost. | 關聯: | The Geneva Papers on Risk and Insurance - Issues and Practice, 46, 130-145 | 資料類型: | article | DOI: | https://doi.org/10.1057/s41288-020-00175-6 |
