     Summary

The Handbook of Insurance provides a single reference source on insurance for professors, researchers, graduate students, regulators, consultants and practitioners, that reviews the research developments in insurance and its related fields that have occurred over the last thirty years. The book starts with the history and foundations of insurance theory and moves on to review asymmetric information, risk management, insurance pricing and the industrial organization of insurance markets. The book ends with life insurance, pensions and economic security. All chapters have been written by leading authorities in insurance, all contributions have been peer reviewed, and each chapter can be read independently of the others.
