- Title
RATE OF RETURN IN THE PROPERTY AND LIABILITY INSURANCE INDUSTRY.
- Authors
Plotkin, Irving H.
- Abstract
This article presents the rate of return in the property and liability insurance industry. The authors have recently completed a 214-page monograph. This monograph reviews, updates and extends the original profitability work. The authors believe this monograph can correct many of the misconceptions about the methodology and results reflected in some of the reviews. More importantly, the authors hope that it will stimulate further work in the directions investigated by Forbes and by Trieschmann and, especially, in the area of the interrelationships among profitability, risk, and underwriting ratios. In any event, it should fulfill the numerous requests from insurance scholars for a summary of the results and responses to the several critics.
