Indagine sulle cause del ritardo nello sviluppo della distribuzione assicurativa in Italia in ottica comparata

L’attività assicurativa svolge un ruolo cruciale nell’economia moderna: riduce le inefficienze di mercato, rendendo possibile per la c.d. economia reale il trasferimento di rischi il cui impatto potrebbe essere devastante qualora l’evento assicurato si verificasse. Questa funzione può naturalmente essere svolta anche in assenza di un canale distributivo indipendente, ma con un significativo aumento dei costi di transazione dovuti, in particolare, a un alto impatto dell’asimmetria informativa per i c.d. rischi non standardizzabili (c.d. commercial lines o business insurance). Tale funzione è tanto più importante nei c.d. cicli di hard market, in cui l’appetito per il rischio delle imprese assicuratrici diminuisce, il prezzo delle coperture aumenta e per le imprese diventa arduo trovare eque coperture sul mercato d’offerta. Lo studio evidenzia che gli intermediari indipendenti italiani non differiscono molto da quelli di altri Paesi per composizione di portafoglio, propensione all’intermediazione di rischi afferenti al segmento Aziende e capacità di selezionare con attenzione i rischi. Nel loro complesso, intermediari indipendenti e in esclusiva sembrano ancorati a modelli e logiche di sviluppo poco orientate al futuro, quali ad esempio poco significative politiche di costruzione di reti secondarie al loro interno. Questo orientamento impedisce a molti di loro di crescere. Le cause ostative alla diffusione del plurimandato sono i costi di transazione e i timori di ritorsione della mandante principale. Dato che l’acquisizione di ulteriori mandati dipende dal numero di clienti in portafoglio in termini di policy sarebbe opportuno, da un lato, riconoscere agli intermediari l’importanza degli investimenti in reti secondarie e, dall’altro, rimuovere tutte gli ostacoli (prevalentemente di natura regolamentare) che impediscono un’ulteriore riduzione dei costi di transazione.

Riesgo biomecánico y dolor lumbar en operarios y personal administrativo en una fábrica de jabón en Bogotá 2016

Introducción: El dolor lumbar y los desórdenes músculo esqueléticos comprometen la salud y la calidad de vida de los trabajadores, pueden poner en riesgo el futuro laboral de las personas. bjetivo: Estimar la prevalencia de dolor lumbar y los posibles factores biomecánicos asociados en el personal operativo y administrativo en una empresa manufacturera de jabón en Bogotá, en el año 2016 Metodología: Estudio de corte transversal donde se evaluó el riesgo biomecánico y la prevalencia del dolor lumbar en personal administrativo (138) y operativo (165); se utilizó como instrumento el ERGOPAR validado en España. Se revisó la asociación utilizando la prueba Chi Cuadrado de Pearson, con un nivel de significación α 0.05 Resultados: 303 trabajadores de una empresa manufacturera de jabón en Bogotá, donde predominó el género masculino (51,82%) y la población adulta media entre 30-39 años (57,42%). La prevalencia del dolor lumbar en la población fue de 61,39% (186). La edad no se asoció estadísticamente al dolor lumbar. Se encontró asociación estadística entre el síntoma dolor lumbar y extensión de cuello (p=0,05 OR1.95 IC 1.33-2.88), así como con agarrar o sujetar objetos (p= 0,036. OR 2.3 IC 1.59-3.51) y con las exigencias físicas laborales (p= 0.001 OR 1.99 IC 1.31-3.02). Conclusiones: La población estudiada presentó una alta prevalencia de dolor lumbar, con predominio en personal que realiza labores operativas, y del género femenino. La adopción de posturas de extensión del cuello y la sujeción o agarre de objetos son factores asociados directamente con la aparición de lumbalgia.

Statistics as a basis for discrimination in the insurance business

The European Court of Justice has held that as from 21 December 2012 insurers may no longer charge men and women differently on the basis of scientific evidence that is statistically linked to their sex, effectively prohibiting the use of sex as a factor in the calculation of premiums and benefits for the purposes of insurance and related financial services throughout the European Union. This ruling marks a sharp turn away from the traditional view that insurers should be allowed to apply just about any risk assessment criterion, so long as it is sustained by the findings of actuarial science. The naïveté behind the assumption that insurers’ recourse to statistical data and probabilistic analysis, given their scientific nature, would suffice to keep them out of harm’s way was exposed. In this article I look at the flaws of this assumption and question whether this judicial decision, whilst constituting a most welcome landmark in the pursuit of equality between men and women, has nonetheless gone too far by saying too little on the million dollar question of what separates admissible criteria of differentiation from inadmissible forms of discrimination.

Business Cycles, Unemployment Insurance, and the Calibration of Matching Models

This paper points out an empirical puzzle that arises when an RBC economy with a job matching function is used to model unemployment. The standard model can generate sufficiently large cyclical fluctuations in unemployment, or a sufficiently small response of unemployment to labor market policies, but it cannot do both. Variable search and separation, finite UI benefit duration, efficiency wages, and capital all fail to resolve this puzzle. However, both sticky wages and match-specific productivity shocks help the model reproduce the stylized facts: both make the firm's flow of surplus more procyclical, thus making hiring more procyclical too.

Business cycles, unemployment insurance and the calibration of matching models

This paper theoretically and empirically documents a puzzle that arises when an RBC economy with a job matching function is used to model unemployment. The standard model can generate sufficiently large cyclical fluctuations in unemployment, or a sufficiently small response of unemployment to labor market policies, but it cannot do both. Variable search and separation, finite UI benefit duration, efficiency wages, and capital all fail to resolve this puzzle. However, either sticky wages or match-specific productivity shocks can improve the model's performance by making the firm's flow of surplus more procyclical, which makes hiring more procyclical too.
