J. François d'Outreville

The Geneva Papers on Risk and Insurance - Issues and Practice, 1998, vol. 23, issue 1, 68-80

Abstract: By examining the distribution of the total net premiums written by the 100 largest reinsurance companies in the world, this paper documents two dimensions of the change in market concentration: the trend in concentration in the world's largest companies, and the relative position of these companies by countries. A statistical analysis is developed and factors that may have an impact on concentration patterns are examined.
