Korean property and liability insurance companies have underwrited hull insurance without proper undrewriting ability. But after April 1996. in case of Korean insurance market being opened the companies have to make hull insurance rate by themselves. Accordingly, in this study, the writer embodies important factors in making hull insurance rate by an empirical survey. In empirical survey, the writer used a questionnaire, 74 proper data was obtained from 96 officers working in making hull insurance rate in 12 Korean property and liablity insurance companies and 24 the foreign companies at home. Reliability was tested by Cronbach's Alpha and a conceptual validity by Factor Analysis. Hypothesis estabilished in this study was tested by Correlation and Multiple Regression Analysis. Results of testing hypothesis are as follows: Firstly, the traits of insurer and the assured influence significantly(P<0.05) on making hull insurance rate. Secondly, expected loss ratio, ship manager, ship's age, insured amount, level of the cost of repairing and salvage, shipowner, period of insurance, level of overseas rating, profit and expense, trading limits, ship's classification, conditions of insurance, and ship's size influence significantly(P<0.05) on making hull insurance rate.

This paper attempts to show how DEA(data envelopment analysis), a nonparametric productivity analysis method, can be employed for insurance companies to improve their respective efficiencies and competitiveness. Specifically, we measured relative technical efficiencies and returns to scale of 11 Korean property-liability insurance companies using BCC model, and raised several issues including the cause of inefficiency, benchmarking toward reference set and resource allocation concerning the insurance companies. Also, in order to monitor the variability of the research results over periods, we employed longitudinal analysis to see the moving patterns of technical efficiencies, returns to scale and frequencies included in the reference set of the individual insurance companies under consideration. The methodology and the results in this paper may also serve as a useful guideline for individual insurance companies to set their respective business strategies.

We investigate the effect of introduction of the bancassurance system on cost efficiency in the Korean insurance industry between 1997 and 2012. Our estimation results indicate that introduction of this system contributed positively to efficiency of life insurance companies in Korea. Increase in a one standard deviation of bancassurance increases cost efficiency by 0.08 which is equivalent to 12 percent of mean cost efficiency. Recognising that the bancassurance system is a relatively new concept, our results indicate that the bancassurance system can be a policy measure to improve productivity in an emerging insurance market. The results illustrate that positive effects have accrued particularly to medium-sized companies and domestic companies, contrary to the prevailing perception that increased competition through bancassurance is more beneficial to large companies and foreign companies.

Purpose: This study aims to assess IFRS adoption, financial reporting practices, and the challenges of implementing the new IFRS 17 in insurance companies listed on the DSE in Bangladesh. Research design, data, and methodology: Cross-sectional data from 56 listed insurance companies for the years 2019-2023 were collected, and content analysis was performed to evaluate IFRS adoption and financial reporting practices. A structured questionnaire survey yielding 120 responses was used, followed by a structural equation model analysis to identify the challenges in implementing IFRS 17. Results: The study found that listed insurance companies adopt between 4 and 6 IFRS, with some implementing up to 12 IFRS, showing an upward trend in IFRS adoption. However, IFRS is not fully applied in preparing financial statements, as the Insurance Acts of 2010 and 1938 are still in use. The challenges in implementing IFRS 17 include conflicting regulations, data management issues, the need to modify accounting systems and processes, the need for human resource training on IFRS, and the misalignment between the current regulatory framework and IFRS. Conclusions: Insurance companies must address these challenges to effectively implement IFRS 17 in their financial reporting.

The government-driven open data policies are on the rise to protect consumers from misunderstandings and monitor the companies. However, in contract-based industries such as insurance, the contract-inherent characteristics make information asymmetry between consumers and companies. Our paper focuses on insurance contracts where the contingency has high uncertainty of occurrence, and the clauses may incur high costs of reading. Given those contracts, we hypothesized that the contract's clear statement decreases customer dissatisfaction and lowers the number of complaints. To empirically support the claim, we collected customers' complaint documents of insurance companies and insurance contracts from 2005 until 2017. Our econometric models showed that clearer statements and words significantly reduce the complaints after controlling for firm-specific heterogeneity and time-specific heterogeneity. We identify that insurance companies' complaint ratio significantly differ depending on the insurance contract, including specific clauses and words.

본 연구는 2020년부터 코로나 바이러스의 영향을 받고 있는 인도 손해보험시장의 효율성과 생산성을 분석하였다. 비모수적 연구방법인 자료포락분석(DEA)을 사용하여 FY2013년부터 FY2019년까지 인도에서 건강보험 상품을 판매하고 있는 손해보험회사들을 표본으로 하였다. 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 전체 보험산업의 평균 효율성은 표본기간 동안 효율성이 감소하다가 개선되는 결과를 보여주었다. 둘째, 효율성 측정치를 그룹별로 살펴보면 민영보험회사가 효율성이 가장 높았으며 국영보험회사와 순수건강전문보험회사가 그 뒤를 따르고 있었다. 셋째, 연평균 생산성을 측정한 결과 전통적인 대면채널보다 텔레마케팅을 포함한 비대면채널을 운영한 보험회사의 연평균 생산성 증가율이 더 높은 것으로 파악되었다. 따라서 코로나 바이러스의 창궐로 인하여 비대면영업환경이 주를 이루는 가운데 향후 인도 손해보험회사는 영업전략 수립 시 비대면채널의 발전에 자원과 노력을 집중해야 할 것으로 보인다. 더불어 본 연구의 분석을 코로나 바이러스 창궐 이후 기간에 적용하는 것도 흥미로워 보인다.

Todays, computers in business world are potent facilitators that most companies could not without them, while they are only tools. They offer extremely efficient means of communication, particularly when connected to Internet. What I stress in this article is the risks accompanied by e-commerce rather than the advantages of Internet or e-commerce. The management of e-commerce companies, therefore, should keep in mind that the benefit of e-commerce through the Internet are accompanied by enhanced and new risks, cyber risks or e-commerce risks. For example, companies are exposed to computer system breakdown and business interruption risks owing to traditional and physical risks such as theft and fire etc, computer programming errors and defect softwares and outsider's attack such as hacking and virus. E-commerce companies are also exposed to tort liabilities owing to defamation, the infringement of intellectual property such as copyright, trademark and patent right, negligent misrepresent and breach of confidential information or privacy infringement. In this article, I would like to suggest e-commerce insurance or cyber liability insurance as a means of risk management rather than some technical devices, because there is not technically perfect defence against cyber risks. But e-commerce insurance has some gaps between risks confronted by companies and coverage needed by them, because it is at most 6 or 7 years since it has been introduced to market. Nevertheless, in my opinion, e-commerce insurance has offered the most perfect defence against cyber risks to e-commerce companies up to now.

This paper examines the readiness of Jordanian insurance companies to apply the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS 17), and the challenges of its application. The study developed a questionnaire based on prior related studies, and in the light of IFRS 17, the study used different statistical methods and techniques such as means, standard deviation, and t-test to achieve its goals. The results indicate that Jordanian insurance companies are not ready to apply IFRS 17, for several reasons. Most importantly, insurance companies have a low level of ability to define the scope of IFRS 17, study the impact of IFRS 17 application to financial reports, and develop new internal monitoring methods to apply IFRS 17. As for the challenges for applying IFRS 17, the biggest is the data challenge, followed by the challenges of first-time implementation, systems, and results and presentation. Finally, this paper advocates that it has become important for Jordanian insurance companies and supervisory bodies to enhance their readiness to apply IFRS 17 within a scheduled time framework and by taking several preparatory steps: performing simulations consisting of procedures to deal with IFRS 17 requirements and the impact on financial reports, and helping human resources with familiarization and application of IFRS 17.
