Compulsory Insurance Against Damage Caused by Natural Disasters by Ann-Kristin Becker, Christoph Oslislo

“…While the basic arguments in the debate are not new, there are still several open questions on the central design and implementation details. We draw attention to the key economic trade-offs in this debate and argue that the frequent criticisms of compulsory insurance are based on specific design assumptions and therefore do not serve as general arguments against an insurance obligation.…”
