ASTIN Bulletin, 1977, vol. 9, issue 3, 329-364

Abstract: Japan is one of the most earthquake-prone countries in the world and a considerable volume of earthquake insurance is written by private insurers. Therefore, a report on earthquake insurance in Japan has been prepared for the 13th ASTIN Colloquium.We will first summarise, from recent results of seismological studies, the matters which would form the basis for a study of earthquake insurance, and then explain how this insurance actually works in Japan.
