"With his thesis, Sebastian Hinck advances our understanding of how the risk environment impacts decision making and offers an analysis of the optimal design of insurance contracts in the presence of government disaster relief. The findings of Jieyu Lin’s thesis shed light on how heterogeneity in risk assessment, capitalisation and operational efficiency amongst insurers affects their market share, providing important practical insights on the market-share dynamics of insurance companies. The judging committee found these two academic theses highly deserving of the 2024 Geneva Association Ernst Meyer Prize", Christophe Courbage, Editor-in-Chief of The Geneva Papers on Risk and Insurance and member of the judging committee, commented.
The Geneva Association is the only global association of insurance companies. It investigates key risk areas that are likely to impact the insurance industry, develops recommendations and provides a platform for stakeholders to discuss them. In total, the companies of Geneva Association members are headquartered in 26 countries around the world; manage USD 21 trillion in assets; employ more than 2.5 million people; and protect 2.6 billion people, according to the press release.
