Terrorism and business: a view from an insurance practitioner

Adrian Lewers

Global Business and Economics Review, 2008, vol. 10, issue 2, 239-242

Abstract: It has been said that terrorism as a risk is uninsurable because it lacks a statistical basis for analysis and, fundamentally, is a man-made phenomenon. Adrian Lewers, a terrorism, political risk and credit underwriter at Lloyd's syndicate Beazley, discusses some of the factors that permit businesses and insurers to evaluate both the risk and threat of a terrorist event in the absence of pure statistical analysis.

Keywords: terrorism; insurance; Lloyd's of London; Beazley; blast zone; probability; terrorist threat; risk assessment. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
