| Abstract: | This paper presents a survey of the lectures held within the B.V.V.O.-chair for insurance economics, 1990–1991. Within this context, a ‘company mission’ for the Center for Insurance Studies is formulated. Future topics to be tackled are given and some results to questions raised during the lectures are presented. In this respect, the corporate strategist will be interested in Sections 2 (positioning of the industry vis-à-vis the competitive forces) and 4 (potential competition from 1992 and synergy with banks). The economist will find some reflections on the nature of insurance from both partial (industrial organisation) and general equilibrium analyses. |
