  This cross-disciplinary study examines the way culture affects consumption patterns of life insurance across Chinese provinces.Because of the uncertainty and ambiguity inherent in the life insurance product,consumers are more likely to respond according to their cultural practice.Our research hypotheses are tested empirically using Hofstedes cultural dimensions,and data from 1999-2010 across 31 provinces from mainland China.The findings show that after controlling for economic and demographic determinants,power distance and uncertainty avoidance indeed have significant,negative effects whereas masculinity/femininity has a significant,positive effect on life insurance consumption.And the effect of individualism in life insurance is not significant.

本文从人身保险市场传统评估指标测算基准的局限性出发,以人身保险需求为测算基准来定义人身保险市场效率,并在充分考虑中国各地区间人身保险需求结构异质性的基础上,基于2000-2011年中国30个省、自治区和直辖市的面板数据,应用随机前沿模型测算了样本地区的人身保险市场效率,结果发现:(1)中国人身保险存在着异质性的需求结构;(2)从整体上看,中国人身保险市场效率呈螺旋式提高且在省际间不断收敛的趋势;(
保险业属于知识和技术密集型的行业,作为知识和技术的载体,人才对其生存和发展至关重要.本文采取理论与实际、定性与定量分析相结合的方式,试图对保险业人力资源状况与行业利润的关系做初步探讨.人力资源状况包括人力资源的数量和质量.由于质量水平不易量化以及获取相关统计数据的困难,本文就人力资源数量与行业利润,利用2000-2011年时间序列数据及2011年占市场规模较大的财险和寿险公司的截面数据,建立两种形
