题目：Efficiency and Profitability in the Global Insurance Industry
摘要：We examine the relationship between firm efficiency (E) and profitability (P) with a global dataset of 5,000 insurance companies in the time period 2003 to 2013.Consistent with previous studies in banking and insurance, we document a significantly positive correlation between the efficiency measures and returns on equity and assets. Beyond the extant evidence, we find significant industry dependency in the E-P relationship driven by industry idiosyncrasies, whereas efficiency is more critical to the profitability of life insurers than to nonlife insurers. We also show that the E-P relationship is nonlinear: the marginal impact of efficiency on profitability decreases as the insurer’s efficiency is close to the best practice.
