We build a two-dimensional political economy model to explain income redistribution and public financing of long-term care. Voting agents differ in income and need opening up two conflicts: one sets the poor against the rich with the former preferring heavier income taxation than the latter. The...

We use a two-sided market approach to study competition between two health care plans who competes both provider side and policyholder side. Providers' differentiation is characterized by locations and qualities, whereas policyholders' is depicted by health risks. The quality of a health plan is...

In the compound Poisson risk model, several strong hypotheses may be found too restrictive to describe accurately the evolution of the reserves of an insurance company. This is especially true for a company that faces natural disaster risks like earthquake or flooding. For such risks, claim amounts...
