A Game-Theoretic Approach to Non-Life Insurance Markets

Abstract
In this paper, we formulate a noncooperative game to model a non-life insurance market. The aim is to analyze the effects of competition between insurers through different indicators: the market premium, the solvency level, the market share and the underwriting results. Resulting premium Nash equilibria are discussed and numerically illustrated.

Keywords: Non-life insurance; Market model; Game theory; Nash equilibrium
