I find that insurers shift their portfolio holdings pro-cyclically towards lower credit risk assets in the first month of the market contraction. As the crisis progresses, I find evidence for counter-cyclical, riskier investment behavior by European insurers, especially in high-yield instruments, that can neither be explained by credit rating downgrades of held bonds nor by hedging with CDS derivatives. This counter-cyclical investment behavior cannot be observed for US firms, which provides evidence for a difference in investment behavior between US and European insurers. The observed investment behavior of European insurers could be beneficial for systemic stability by attenuating price declines through insurance liquidity provision, but excessive risk-taking by insurance companies over longer periods can also reinforce systemic stress.</p>","PeriodicalId":51440,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Risk and Insurance","volume":"92 4","pages":"857-908"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jori.70028","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145533715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During our sample period, European insurers had to determine the fair value of all assets and liabilities according to the Solvency II (SII) regulation, in addition to the historical-cost-based setup of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This alternative source of information allowed investors to update their expectations about future dividends, risks, and firm values. Comparing both frameworks, we report three findings. First, we show that the association between stock prices and SII full fair value accounting items is greater than that of IFRS historical cost measurements. Second, we find that this effect stems from unexpected news disclosed by regulatory reporting.

To better understand these differences, we account for individual risk preferences using a rank-dependent expected utility (RDEU) model and assess the welfare effects of plan choices. At the aggregate level, we find welfare losses under both the normative RDEU model and the descriptive EV model.

Assuming firms have full information about the relevant parameters upon market inception is commonplace in the literature.

We estimate alternative learning models with data from the California ACA exchange and assess their external validity using novel data on firms' predicted costs from insurer rate filings. The learning models provide statistically significant improvements in fit relative to the standard model that assumes firms have full information. Most of the improvement results from allowing firms to learn about the relationship between demand and cost. Firms with full information can increase profit, but at taxpayers' expense.

The effect on yield spreads disappears for maturities of less than 1 year or more than 15 years, supporting the view that wildfire risk is a medium-term risk.

The fund manager of GSA acts on behalf of fund participants in selecting the optimal hedge. The hedging framework is formulated as a mean-variance optimization problem, which serves as a theoretical framework for selecting the optimal hedging strategy. The hedging mechanism involves trading standardized longevity-linked securities dynamically. A semi-analytic solution to the optimal hedge ratio is derived, which enhances the numerical implementation of the strategy. Furthermore, a risk decomposition method is developed, enabling hedging of various sources of risks, such as longevity and investment risks. Numerical illustrations highlight that the hedging strategy effectively mitigates variability in survival benefits. Meanwhile, a holistic risk management framework utilizing the longevity risk hedging strategy and a target volatility investment strategy increases the fund's return per unit of risk.</p>","PeriodicalId":51440,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Risk and Insurance","volume":"92 4","pages":"1013-1058"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jori.70024","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145533488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In contrast, G-SIIs' systemic risk is largely driven by the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, the distribution and correlation of systemic risk for G-SIBs and G-SIIs vary significantly across jurisdictions.
