Abstract
This study explores the impact of intellectual capital (IC) on solvency risk and examines the moderating effect of the board of directors. This study used fixed-effect analysis and hierarchical regression models to test the research hypotheses. The results reveal that IC composition significantly impacts insurers' solvency risk. Additionally, independent directors of life insurers have a positive impact on solvency, and non-life insurers' board size has a positive impact on solvency. Moreover, we find that the board of directors has a moderating effect on IC and solvency risks in life insurance. Fundamentally, the results provide valuable implications for insurers in improving their solvency and supervision bases for the competent authorities.
