The traditional role of insurers has been to insure idiosyncratic risk through products such as life annuities, life insurance, and health insurance. However, with the decline of private defined benefit plans and government pension plans around the world, insurers are increasingly taking on the role of insuring market risk through minimum return guarantees. In addition, insurers are utilizing more complex capital management tools such as derivatives, off-balance-sheet reinsurance, and securities lending.

The Financial Economics of Insurance provides a comprehensive framework to study the impact of financial and regulatory frictions as well as imperfect competition on all insurer decisions. The book covers a wide range of topics, including insurance pricing, contract design, reinsurance, portfolio choice, and risk management. It offers valuable insights into the complexities of the modern insurance sector and is an invaluable resource for graduate students in economics, finance, and insurance.

The textbook can be taught in courses on asset pricing, corporate finance, industrial organization, and public economics. It provides promising new directions for future research and offers policymakers seeking an empirical and institutional account of the insurance sector a valuable resource.
