Abstract

Political frictions significantly affect both pricing and supply in the long-term care insurance (LTCI) market. Comparing the same insurer’s requests submitted for the same policy at the same time to different state regulators, we find that they are 13% more likely to be approved and receive 4% more of the requested amount after an election year. Over time, regulatory pushback on premium increase requests leads to persistently lower cash reserves and increases the probability of company dropout. An insurer who receives one-standard-deviation less of their requested increase is 20% more likely to leave the market next year.

政治摩擦对保险定价和供给的影响

政治摩擦显著影响长期护理保险(LTCI)市场的定价和供应。比较同一保险公司在同一时间向不同州的监管机构提交的同一保单申请，我们发现，在选举年之后，他们获得批准的可能性要高出13%，收到的申请金额要高出4%。随着时间的推移，监管机构对提高保费要求的抵制导致现金储备持续下降，并增加了公司退出的可能性。如果保险公司的保费增长比他们要求的少一个标准差，那么明年离开市场的可能性就会增加20%。
