By analyzing 10-K disclosures, we classify firms into distinct risk culture clusters and find that the risk culture of insurance firms is significantly shaped by their uncertain risk strategies, constraints in defining, implementing, and reporting risks, as well as litigious decisions and risk management practices. A temporal prediction analysis indicates that large insurers maintaining a poor risk culture trend are less likely to reverse it compared to those improving. Moreover, insurance firms show enhanced risk culture post-Dodd–Frank Act. Our findings underscore the potential benefits of regulations aimed at monitoring and overseeing insurers' risk practices.</p>","PeriodicalId":51440,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Risk and Insurance","volume":"92 2","pages":"536-574"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143944878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The second pillar, cyber capital management, facilitates informed allocation of capital for a balanced cyber risk management strategy, including cybersecurity investments, insurance coverage, and reserves. A case study, based on historical cyber incident data and realistic assumptions, demonstrates the necessity of comprehensive cost–benefit analysis for budget-constrained companies with competing objectives in cyber risk management. In addition, sensitivity analysis highlights the dependence of the optimal strategy on factors such as the price of cybersecurity controls and their effectiveness.

Leveraging a panel of communities from 1998 to 2019, we find a significant increase in risk mitigation activities following flood events, in both participation rates and intensity of actions. The effects continue to increase up to 10 years. Communities with greater capacity, particularly those in urban areas, exhibit a much stronger response.

On average, the survey participants spent 15.7% of their given total wealth to buy LTC insurance when they could use savings and a reverse mortgage, 12.8% when they could use savings and home reversion, and 5.2% when they could only use savings.
