财险市场价格竞争无效性研究

我国国内财产保险业务自1980年恢复以来虽然取得了很大成绩,但依旧存在很多问题,特别是市场集中度偏高,导致市场竞争处于低水平竞争状态问题。本文根据市场份额将我国财险公司划分为在位者与竞争者两类,应用Stackelber8博弈模型,对在位者与竞争者的保险价格竞争从单时期和多时期两个方面进行分析,得出单纯的价格竞争是无效的,建议从产品和服务的创新、投资、成本管理和客户信息搜集与管理四方面协助价格竞争的展开。

中国非寿险市场多极化格局的成因、特点及趋势

一、非寿险市场多极化竞争格局的形成(一)非寿险市场集中度的加速下降2001-2004年,我国非寿险市场前三位财险公司的市场份额之和(CR3)分别为95.42%、94.4%、89.37%和79.87%;同时,我国非寿险市场前四位的财险公司市场份额之和(CR4)分别为96.3%、95.2%、90.9%和85.7%。从市场集中度的变化趋势中,可以很直观地发现两点:第一,我国非寿险市场集中度一直处于较高水平。2003年以前,前四位财险公司的市场集中度(CR4)高于90%,2004年仍处于85%以上的水平;而前三位财险公司的市场集中度(CR3)直到2004年仍接近80%,这表明我国非寿险市场集中程度很高…

中小财险公司效益发展路径探究

<正>中国大陆财险市场发展速度较快,但车险同质化竞争严重,非车险产品众多、规模效应不强,财险行业整体微利且“马太效应”显著。中小财险公司受限于客户资源、人才队伍、数字化经营水平及成本管控能力等,陷入高综合赔付率、高综合费用率和高综合成本率的“三高”盈利困境,在保费收入及承保利润方面承受较大的经营压力。本文通过对比中国大陆与世界发达市场的保险深度和保险密度,将财险行业与证券行业、美国财险市场的集中度情况进行比较分析,研判了财险行业的竞争态势和走势。此外,本文还通过分析总结财险行业盈利主体的基本特征,结合本量利分析基本原理,探讨中小财险公司如何摆脱“三高”的盈利困境,提出扭亏的具体举措。     

外资财险公司的竞争力研究

截至2009年底,中国市场共有外资财险公司18家,除不能经营少数政策性保险以外,外资公司基本同中资公司享有一样的国民待遇。因此,研究外资财险公司的竞争力及市场地位对于中资公司的发展具有重要的指导意义。本文采用指标分析方法,以中外资财险公司为研究对象,以经营过程中四要素：业务结构、盈利能力、偿付能力、经营稳健性为研究内容,并为每个要素选取判断指标,对比分析可知外资财险公司在业务结构、盈利能力、偿付能力、稳健经营四方面具有竞争优势,但是市场地位低下。为中资财险公司提出的发展建议是：正确看待外资财险公司、调整自身业务结构、改善投资渠道、强化两核技术。     

Bayesian Premium Rating with Latent Structure

We propose a fully Bayesian approach to non-life risk premium rating, based on hierarchical models with latent variables for both claim frequency and claim size. Inference is based on the joint posterior distribution and is performed by Markov Chain Monte Carlo. Rather than plug-in point estimates of all unknown parameters, we take into account all sources of uncertainty simultaneously when the model is used to predict claims and estimate risk premiums. Several models are fitted to both a simulated dataset and a small portfolio regarding theft from cars. We show that interaction among latent variables can improve predictions significantly. We also investigate when interaction is not necessary. We compare our results with those obtained under a standard generalized linear model and show through numerical simulation that geographically located and spatially interacting latent variables can successfully compensate for missing covariates. However, when applied to the real portfolio data, the proposed models are not better than standard models due to the lack of spatial structure in the data.     

The development of the group accounts disclosure system in Japan

The Japanese disclosure system of consolidated statements was introduced in 1977 and extensively revised in 1997. The role of the bureaucracy has been significant in these developments and seems to be part of Japan's closed culture. However, other explanations could also be applied. In particular, although Japanese firms opposed such disclosures on the basis of preparation costs, the Japanese government had to modernize the disclosure system, including consolidation, in order to develop the securities market regardless of an individual company's interests.     

Moments of Compound Mixed Poisson Distributions

Recursive formulae are derived for the evaluation of the moments and the descending factorial moments about a point n of mixed Poisson and compound mixed Poisson distributions, in the case where the derivative of the logarithm of the mixing density can be written as a ratio of polynomials. As byproduct, we also obtain recursive formulae for the evaluation of the moments about the origin, central moments, descending and ascending factorial moments of these distributions. Examples are also presented for a number of mixing densities.     

The designing of corporate accounting law in Japan after the Second World War

After the Second World War, during the neutralization of the controlled economy of wartime Japan, a design for a Corporate Accounting Law was elaborated by the Investigation Committee on the Business Accounting System. The Investigation Committee tried to establish not only new business accounting standards but also a central and independent administrative organ of corporate accounting regulation on the basis of the Corporate Accounting Law. The Corporate Accounting Law was expected to lay the legal foundation of the new corporate accounting regulation regime in Japan. Nevertheless, even though the original design of the fundamental accounting law was never realized, it should be considered the starting point for our understanding of external accounting history in post-war Japan.     

The deliberation around accounting techniques: accounting for depreciation and foreign exchange in an Indian jute company, 1870-1900

This paper examines the way two accounting techniques, namely depreciation and foreign exchange, were deliberated on, between 1870 and 1900, in an Indian jute company whose shareholders resided in the UK. The arena for these deliberations was the conflictual relationship between controlling and non-controlling shareholders as to how best to account for depreciation and foreign exchange especially when the particular accountings affected distributional issues such as the dividend decision. The purpose of this paper is to analyse and explain the processes by which a company's accounting practices emerge and develop as a contest between different interests. Accounting framed the parameters of the deliberations and provided the language of power and dissent. The paper uses a rich archive that includes narrative and accounting material.     

Pricing Dynamic Insurance Risks Using the Principle of Equivalent Utility

We introduce an expected utility approach to price insurance risks in a dynamic financial market setting. The valuation method is based on comparing the maximal expected utility functions with and without incorporating the insurance product, as in the classical principle of equivalent utility. The pricing mechanism relies heavily on risk preferences and yields two reservation prices - one each for the underwriter and buyer of the contract. The framework is rather general and applies to a number of applications that we extensively analyze.

International harmonization of Japanese accounting standards

Historically, Japanese accounting standards have been quite distinct from International Accounting Standards (IASs) which have been perceived as being modelled on British-American accounting standards. However, in the 1990s, after the publication of E32 in 1989 and the IASC-IOSCO Agreement in 1995, the Business Accounting Deliberation Committee (BADC), the standards-setting body in Japan, has pursued a policy of harmonization with IASs. Accounting standards relating to consolidated financial statements of companies that make cross-border offerings of securities or operate worldwide are being revised drastically. This paper focuses on the development of international accounting harmonization and its impact on Japan.
