Insurance! What it is?
Insurance is a method of transferring
risk. Risk is shifted from the person exposed to it to the insurance company
that assumes the risk for a fee. The process by which an insurance company
agrees to assume the risk in return for a projected profit is called insurance
underwriting.
Insurance companies have overhead
costs to maintain and grow their businesses, pay
out claims, and earn a profit. These costs are built into the price of
insurance policies. As a practical matter, insurance companies have incomplete
information, in other words, they may have
less knowledge about future claims than applicant for an insurance policy. Search
costs, these are costs that the person desiring to
be insured undertakes to find out which policy is best. And insurance companies
should pay attention to behavioral factors some academic evidence suggests that humans may not always act
efficiently in risk management activities.
