Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consolidation in the private health insurance (PHI) industry may be resulting in less competitive markets and contributing to rising health insurance rates paid by consumers and employers. However, measuring the extent of changes in market competition over time or the effects of changes is challenging. Researchers have used the data available to study competition in PHI markets, typically using one of two measures of competition: HMO market concentration; or the number of HMOs in a market. This report summarizes the findings of peer-reviewed research on concentration in PHI markets and the relationship between the level of competition and other variables, such as premium prices and provider reimbursement rates.

Download or read book Deregulation and Competition in the Insurance Industry written by Banks McDowell and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1989-05-11 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text focuses on insurance as an industry and speculates what would happen if the insurance industry were to be deregulated. The basics of insurance are incorporated throughout, which allows for a greater understanding of the possible implications of deregulation and trends in competition. . . . What could have been dry and tedious has instead been made pleasant by Banks McDowell, who writes with an easy-to-read and informative style. Examples of small case studies are woven into the text to further illustrate the issues. The material is clear, concise, and thought-provoking and is presented entirely without prejudice. Business Information ALERT The rapid rise in insurance premium costs coupled with the problem of obtaining insurance at any cost for some applicants has precipitated a crisis in the insurance industry. Many scholars and industry analysts have suggested deregulation as a solution, arguing that the actions of a free market are the only efficient means of controlling costs and affordability. McDowell offers an in-depth examination of the arguments in favor of and against deregulation and analyzes what the probable effects of such deregulation would be. Basing his study on the results of past experiments, scholarly recommendations, economic analysis, and his own work in the field, McDowell fully explores the various types of deregulation that could be implemented and assesses the degree to which they would fulfill the goals of maintaining the financial solvency of insurance companies, keeping premiums from being excessive, preventing discrimination among policyholders, and making insurance available and affordable to all who want it. McDowell begins with a discussion of what deregulation means. Subsequent chapters trace the history of insurance regulation, examine the complex goals of governmental insurance regulation, and explore the nature of insurance in contemporary society. Turning to a discussion of competition, McDowell illustrates the various levels at which insurers can compete and examines both the problems of regulation in each area and the likely effects of introducing such competition. The issue of whether regulation of the industry should be at the federal or state level receives thorough treatment, as does the question of using insurance company mergers to increase efficiency and lower costs. McDowell concludes with an enlightening discussion of the series of choices among aims and policies which must be made before the decision to deregulate or not is taken. Insurance company executives and attorneys as well as students of the insurance industry or of insurance law will find McDowell's work a cogent exposition of the complex facets of the insurance deregulation debate.

This book was released on 2012-05-04 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates the competitive dynamics in the global insurance industry from 1999 to 2008. After reviewing the current state of the academic debate on interfirm rivalry, it derives a research agenda spanning different levels of analysis and phenomena of interest. Specifically, the thesis explores (1) how and why firms continuously adjust their strategic profiles in the presence of an industry's strategic group structure, (2) whether market shocks (namely 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina) temporarily change the decision-logic underlying competitive choices, and (3) whether stock markets respond differently to competitive moves that follow a clearly stated strategic rationale.
