IRSG Feedback Statement on EIOPA's Questionnaire on the 2019 Consumer Trends Report
EIOPA-IRSG-19-09 7 June 2019 IRSG Feedback Statement on EIOPA’s Questionnaire on the 2019 Consumer Trends Report 1. Background EIOPA is required under its Regulation to collect, analyse and report on consumer trends1. To date, EIOPA has produced seven Consumer Trends Reports. The term ‘consumer trend’ is not defined in EIOPA’s Regulation. EIOPA therefore devised the following working definition: “Evolutions in consumer behaviour in the insurance and pensions markets related to the relationship between consumers and undertakings (including intermediaries) that are significant in their impact or novelty” The term ‘trends’ is understood in a broad sense: it covers, for example, evolutions in volumes of business or in the relationship between customers and undertakings/intermediaries, as well as the emergence of new products or services, or other linked financial innovations. The trend may already be consolidated for a number of years, but it may also be only emergent, with the possibility of becoming significant in the future. The report aims to inform EIOPA in the identification, prioritisation and development of targeted policy proposals; EIOPA seeks to identify possible consumer protection issues arising from identified trends. Nevertheless, positive developments are also identified and highlighted. 1 Article 9(1)(a) of the Regulation 1094/2010 establishing EIOPA 1 2. Questions to the IRSG Like in the past two years, EIOPA would like to collect from IRSG informal input to the work on the Consumer Trends Report. In addition to your experience as stakeholders, it would be very useful if you could attach or provide the links to any relevant sources of information to complement your feedback. -
Credible Or Biased? an Analysis of Insurance Product Ratings in Germany
Credible or Biased? An Analysis of Insurance Product Ratings in Germany Patricia Born Stephanie Meyr Sharon Tennyson Munich Risk and Insurance Center Working Paper 31 April 29, 2015 An electronic version of the paper may be downloaded from the MRIC website: www.mric.lmu.de/research/wp Credible or Biased? An Analysis of Insurance Product Ratings in Germany Patricia Born, Stephanie Meyr and Sharon Tennyson MRIC Working Paper No. 31 April 2015 ABSTRACT Product market transparency suffered from relaxed regulation following deregulation of the European insurance market in 1994. Instruments such as insurance product ratings can contribute to foster consumers’ orientation in such market environments. However, the capacity of these ratings to promote market transparency and consumer awareness depends critically on whether they are credible. This article provides the first empirical investigation of insurance product ratings, with an emphasis on the potential sources of bias that could undermine rating credibility. The analysis employs a panel data set containing ratings for German disability insurance products from two rating agencies over a fifteen year period. Using the existing literature on other rating types as a guide, we test a series of hypotheses regarding factors that may explain the variation in rating outcomes over time and across rating agencies. Even if conspicuous differences between rating agencies can be revealed, our results suggest no major concerns regarding the credibility of insurance product ratings. Patricia Born Center
