What Did the GAO Say About the Availability of Terrorism Insurance?

January 1st, 2009 by alysonoldakowskiq

What did the recent GAO report on Terrorism insurance say and what does it mean to the insurance industry? This article presents the official conclusions and points out some other interesting facts found Chloe the details of the report. Also, I provide my perspective on the terrorism insurance availability and call on the insurance industry to come to some consensus on the matter.

On Monday, September 15, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a study called “Terrorism Insurance: Status of Efforts by Policyholders to Obtain Coverage”. (GAO-08-1057) As a member of the American Academy of Actuaries Terrorism Risk Insurance Subcommittee, I was involved in meetings in Washington DC as the GAO was pulling together expert opinions and background on the issues involved.

Background

The terrorist attacks of 9/11 are estimated to have caused insured losses of about 32.5 billion (as of 2006). Just after the attacks, the availability of coverage was severely impaired, causing problems in the real estate sector and other negative economic consequences.

To help mitigate these consequences, Congress enacted the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, more commonly known as TRIA. Under TRIA, insured must offer terrorism insurance to their commercial policyholders on the same terms they offer for other coverages on the policy. In the event of a terrorist attack, the insurance industry is responsible for a deductible of 20% of their direct earned premium and 15% of losses after that. The US government would cover 85% up to a maximum of $100 billion annually. (NOTE: This seems very small compared to the financial services bailout being considered!)

The act has been reauthorized in 2005 and 2007, with changing amounts of deductible for the industry and changes in the lines of business covered. The current act doesn’t expire until 2014.

The GAO was tasked with the objective to determine if specific markets in the US are having any trouble getting the amounts of coverage they wish to obtain. Specifically:

  1. Availability of terrorism insurance in certain geographical areas
  2. Factors limiting insurers’ willingness to offer coverage
  3. Advantages and disadvantages of some options for changes to TRIA or the funding mechanism.

The GAO study looked at take up rates, data on insurance companies, and interviews with more than 100 experts on various parts of the insurance process.

GAO Conclusions

The official GAO conclusions include:

  • That some high-value properties in major cities may face initial challenges in obtaining enough coverage, but eventually manage to by using several insurance companies in more complex insurance structures, buying separate terrorism coverage, or self-insuring
  • The current ’soft’ market has helped the availability of terrorism insurance overall
  • Many insurance company CEOs worry about their overall exposure (aggregation limits) in some geographical areas and seek to control their concentration there.
  • There is a lack of consensus on what future TRIA options would be the most useful for improving the availability of terrorism insurance coverage.

I have garnered some other interesting information from the meat of the report. Other interesting facts from the GAO report:

  • The ‘take-up rate’, or the percentage of commercial insurance policyholders opting to buy terrorism coverage has been between 60% and 65% since 2004.
  • The cost has generally amounted to about 4% of annual premium for these customers. Note that coverage is not usually priced on a percentage basis, but as a loss cost that varies by territory. I’m assuming that the 4% refers to high risk areas since those were targeted in the scope of the study.
  • The policyholders that don’t purchase coverage do so because they don’t feel at risk or their lender doesn’t require it.
  • Reinsurers and Rating Agencies may influence the purchase of terrorism insurance.

The GAO asked industry personnel about what options should be enacted to aid with the availability problems. They went on to say that no consensus of industry opinion was found. The options for modifying TRIA include:

  • Lowering TRIA industry deductible following large terrorist attacks
  • Permitting tax-deductible reserves for terrorism losses
  • Forming insurance pools for sharing assets and losses
  • Catastrophe bonds
  • Limiting state regulation and requirements

What does it mean for you

As an actuary, I have several take-aways from this report. In my opinion, the fact that the GAO didn’t find any serious availability issues means that TRIA will remain in place, unchanged for some time to come, unless a big terrorist attack occurs. In that case, availability will ‘harden’ in the short term while losses are assessed.

From a risk management and actuarial point of view, controlling concentration (or your aggregation limits) is key to sleeping easy at night, even if it makes potential insurers (or their brokers) work harder to find coverage. That effort makes the system work better because spreading the loss is an important function of insurance.

The industry’s lack of consensus when it comes to alternative options really hurts the industry’s credibility and their ability to influence the options eventually selected. I think a industry-wide conference with interested stakeholders in the terrorism insurance arena would be a valuable first step to a more permanent terrorism insurance solution. In my mind, the government HAS to have a stake in the final arrangement, since the government’s actions have a great influence on terrorism activity in the US.

Women Home Porn Stars Make New Million Dollar Business of Cottage Industry on Internet Websites

November 30th, 2008 by alysonoldakowskiq

How did this happen? Maybe it’s just the natural course of events. Look at it: 1) Stay-at-home job 2) good income 3) less work 4) new technology 5) new culture 6) fame 7) public demand. How do these women (some guys too) decide to join in a burgeoning industry?

Let’s work backward in the list.

PUBLIC DEMAND -Porn of various types has always been around. Good or Bad? There are some arguments How To Make Swarovski Heart Pendant both sides of this question - which I won’t go into now. But let’s face it, images of nude people and people engaging in sexual activities have been a multi-billion dollar industry. Record sales of sex aids are posted every year. These are used primarily for self stimulation (no moral comment here).

FAME Vera Bradley Watches of these women become 48 Swarovski Crystal Beads Clear Crystal Ab 2 5301 4mm because of their niche offerings, or mainstream posing in the nude, for digital images or digital movies. Aside from Old Navy Maternity this kind of Breitling Watches is available free of charge on the world-wide-web, or can Swarovski Stones Wholesalers visited/downloaded for a range of prices or membership fees. Some girls freelance with boyfriend or husband or girlfriend to set up a low-cost website then acquire a Swarvorski Homepage They may take requests for types of posing, clothing, or activities.

NEW Digital Scrapbook Elements -Or old? Although these images are much easier to distribute via website to satisfied customers, these new stars are doing the same things that have always been done. It’s just that with web technology any woman can be a porn star. Some stars remain anonymous, others use their real name - even make guest appearances on television or at festivals. The web permits more anonymity to viewers as well.

NEW TECHNOLOGY -And growing everyday. Webcams, syndication feeds for new photosets or new stars, CD and DVD rent or sale, MPEG via internet, even cell phone images of supposed voyeuristic images.
Now the model/star’s voice can be marketable with movies. Lingerie sites have picked up on this and sell more merchandise to girls and guys.

LESS WORK -It’s easier to make and upload pics than to work downtown in an office or store - although some of the most popular stars do both. Special lighting, backgrounds, settings, or makeup may be used but this is up to the star and her following. With blogging and CSS webpages available there is little work needed to maintain a site with customer log-in, etc.

GOOD INCOME -These cottage industry stars have very little overhead to subtract from their income. Many stars have told me that they were surprised at how much attention/money they received after
startup. Some thought they couldn’t compete with movie stars’ pics or established hardcore sites or XXX - DVDs. The incomes reported range from very high to very little, but they all said it was good enough for what they put into their work/business.

WORK AT HOME -Aside from using a natural mountain Swarovski Puffy Heart Pattern or expensive hotel room, most of these women use their homes, or a disguised version of the backyard or kitchen. Some viewers prefer rich, impeccably clean surroundings - others like the naturalness of the home or garage. Some of these ladies have children, some live alone, some have roomies.

The “small-business websites revolution” has a major new trend - which might be the hottest of all cottage industries.

    Your baby may well get upset at bed time she could be anxious about being separated from you or she may simply want to continue playing, so establishing a bed time routine is essential to build her confidence and to help her learn that there is a time when play time has to Adidas Superstar Shoes Boys Size 12 Set up your own routine at a time to suit all of you for example, if you’re working, you may want it to be a little later-but try not to vary the routine, whatever time you do it.

    Lay her in her crib, with any security object she has become attached to, turn the dimmer switch down low, then sit quietly with her for a minute or two.

    The seventies were more of a sixties extension the looks trends Taryn Rose Orla Kiely Mini Sling almost remained the same. It was later in the seventies that clothes started gating more accessories to go with the overcoats mostly in leather and our very own denim fabric took a wild tarn as it was bock in fashion from the US.

More over the coats came back in fashion but certainly with casual and queers cuts let us go through a few other things that marked the seventies dressing for men…

    Overcoats/Short coats:-

    These were the coats you needed to wear in the rainy season. Mostly in leather they were to be worn over trendy Hawaiian shirts. A part from the revival bright Black Apothecary Style Console length coats made of silken Nutrisystem Trial shiny materials worn with bright colored open collar shirts, obviously with no concept of a necktie, bow or scarf.

    Leather/Denim Jackets:-

    Apart from coats, these were in vogue too. Leather jackets in brown and black with heavy metal ornaments were in rage while the rough denims in blues ice blue and even black were worn in coordination with the same color bell bottom jeans.

    The seventies fashion Icons:-

    From Jim Morrison, Bob Marley to Micheal Douglles… All complemented the seventies with their individualistic styles and trends, while Pottery Barn Williamsburg Virginia shades of Beatles and Elvis castled the shadows on the fashion scenario.
