Download or read book China s Commercial Health Insurance written by China Development Research Foundation and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the financing of China’s health system, argues that present arrangements are not adequate and proposes an increased role for commercial health insurance as a way of overcoming the difficulties. Highlighting that China’s present social medical insurance system can only cover basic medical services, with the results that many Chinese people with higher income are going abroad for high-quality medical services and that doctors are not bringing in the salaries and obtaining the social status they expect, the book suggests that commercial health insurance offers a possible solution, in that it can help meet the demand of higher-income groups for better healthcare services while at the same time increasing the income of more competent medical professionals. The book goes on to consider the current state of China’s commercial insurance industry, outlining the various challenges that the industry needs to overcome if it is to fulfil an increased role, challenges such as greater specialization, increased capacity, structural reform, improved regulation and closer integration with China’s medical reform programme.

Download or read book A History of British Actuarial Thought written by Craig Turnbull and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-12-07 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first book of its kind, Turnbull traces the development and implementation of actuarial ideas, from the conception of Equitable Life in the mid-18th century to the start of the 21st century. This book analyses the historical development of British actuarial thought in each of its three main practice areas of life assurance, pensions and general insurance. It discusses how new actuarial approaches were developed within each practice area, and how these emerging ideas interacted with each other and were often driven by common external factors such as shocks in the economic environment, new intellectual ideas from academia and developments in technology. A broad range of historically important actuarial topics are discussed such as the development of the blueprint for the actuarial management of with-profit business; historical developments in mortality modelling methods; changes in actuarial thinking on investment strategy for life and pensions business; changing perspectives on the objectives and methods for funding Defined Benefit pensions; the application of risk theory in general insurance reserving; the adoption of risk-based reserving and the Guaranteed Annuity Option crisis at the end of the 20th century. This book also provides an historical overview of some of the most important external contributions to actuarial thinking: in particular, the first century or so of modern thinking on probability and statistics, starting in the 1650s with Pascal and Fermat; and the developments in the field of financial economics over the third quarter of the twentieth century. This book identifies where historical actuarial thought heuristically anticipated some of the fundamental ideas of modern finance, and the challenges that the profession wrestled with in reconciling these ideas with traditional actuarial methods. Actuaries have played a profoundly influential role in the management of the United Kingdom’s most important long-term financial institutions over the last two hundred years. This book will be the first to chart the influence of the actuarial profession to modern day. It will prove a valuable resource for actuaries, actuarial trainees and students of actuarial science. It will also be of interest to academics and professionals in related financial fields such as accountants, statisticians, economists and investment managers.

Book excerpt: An island-wide conspiracy. A community of corruption. And a wretched, vengeful sky. In a desperate bid to escape the imminent danger lurking at home, Hana and Logan embark on a journey to the tranquil shores of Rarotonga. But what was meant to be a peaceful retreat quickly turns into a nightmare beyond their wildest imaginations. Injured and vulnerable, Hana should have sought solace on the sun-kissed beaches. That was the point, after all, to forget the nightmare still waiting for her at home. But as she struggles to navigate her new reality, a sinister web begins to unravel around her, and it has her in its sights. And the Du Roses find themselves marched from the local supermarket and slung into jail. This and the disappearance of her neighbour leaves Hana questioning the true nature of the paradise she thought she’d found. And adding to her growing unease, the resort owner’s weird obsession with her makes his wife into a jealous and formidable adversary. Beneath a furious sky, Cyclone Angela arrives to play her destructive game with the island community. But her icy talons peel away more than just wood and metal. She exposes a sinister operation and reveals a woman held captive in plain sight. For something is truly rotten on the island of Rarotonga. In this heart-pounding conclusion to Du Rose Blaze, Hana's quest for healing transforms into a desperate fight for her life. She has only five days to expose the truth hidden within the cyclone's eye and escape the clutches of a sickening conspiracy. Prepare to hold your breath as Hana races against time, unlocking a world of secrets where paradise and peril collide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2008 financial crisis was a reminder to people both inside and outside the Actuarial Profession of just how complex the Financial Services industry has become, and just how tied the World economy presently is to its fortunes. This wide-ranging, non-technical book examines our present economic model, the industry's present function and the appropriateness of the Actuarial Profession's present strategy and direction in the aftermath of that crisis, and in the context of the challenges that lie ahead. The book's central premise is that, far from being a one-off, the 2008 crash is merely a portent of things to come, and that the Profession, the industry it serves, and even the political and economic models under which both presently operate are in need of fundamental reform if they are to equip our society to withstand the challenges that are going to be visited upon it. This book seeks to explore the reasons why, and to open the debate about what shape that reform ought to take. As such it should be of interest not just to actuaries, but to anyone who has an interest in our collective future.

Download or read book Professional Authority After the Global Financial Crisis written by Malcolm Campbell-Verduyn and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-10 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book challenges amoral views of finance as the leading realm in which mammon – wealth and profit – is pursued with little overt regard for morality. The author details an enhanced ethical emphasis by leading Anglo–American professionals in the aftermath of the 2007–8 global financial crisis. Instead of merely stressing expert knowledge, professionals sought to overcome the alleged impossibility of serving “two masters” – mammon and God – by embracing religious finance, socio-economic inequality, sustainability and other overtly moral issues. Continuities in liberal values and ideas, however, limited the impact of this enhanced ethical emphasis to restoring the professional authority, as well as to more fundamentally reforming of Anglo–American finance following the most severe period of instability since the Great Depression. Providing a nuanced account of post-crisis change and continuity in a crucially important industry, Campbell-Verduyn advances a dynamic, process-based understanding of authority that will appeal to international political economists and sociologists alike.
