Learning from experience: Flooding and insurance take-up in the flood zone and its periphery
Flood insurance take-up remains low outside of the 100-year flood zone (SFHA), where purchasing insurance is entirely voluntary, despite the availability of affordable policies. Merging building footprints and inundation data for a large-scale flooding episode, we document substantial flood risk in the periphery of the SFHA and show that the storm led to large increases in take-up. But, while in the SFHA, the increase vanished after 3 years, it was highly persistent in the periphery. The extent of flooding and the type of policies purchased indicate that periphery residents who experienced flooding for the first time revised upwardly their beliefs about flood risk and began purchasing flood insurance. We also argue that increased granularity in flood risk communication could increase take-up before catastrophic flooding occurs.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Risk and Insurance (JRI) is the premier outlet for theoretical and empirical research on the topics of insurance economics and risk management. Research in the JRI informs practice, policy-making, and regulation in insurance markets as well as corporate and household risk management. JRI is the flagship journal for the American Risk and Insurance Association, and is currently indexed by the American Economic Association’s Economic Literature Index, RePEc, the Social Sciences Citation Index, and others. Issues of the Journal of Risk and Insurance, from volume one to volume 82 (2015), are available online through JSTOR . Recent issues of JRI are available through Wiley Online Library. In addition to the research areas of traditional strength for the JRI, the editorial team highlights below specific areas for special focus in the near term, due to their current relevance for the field.
