Abstract
|
The talk will start with a review of optimal risk-sharing theory and its policy implications. The theory is applied to the treatment of catastrophe risk using insurance and financial markets. The recent experiences with public insurance schemes and financial innovations such as cat bonds will be addressed and critically reviewed. Current research ideas on this theme will also be presented.
