Environmental Pollution Risk and Insurance [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2002
We consider environmental risks that are evaluated too heavy for a single insurance company, but that can be insured by n companies which a premium is assigned to. This is precisely the Italian scenario where a pool of companies co-insures these risks. Under a game theoretic approach we start by analyzing how they should split the risk and the premium ...
