Abstract

We investigate the risk of claims using hazard models for house insurance for the three periods: prior to, during and after the financial crisis. The present study is based on the data provided by Property & Casualty Carrier for the Canadian Market. The semiparametric Cox proportional hazard model results suggest that Canada’s house insurance options (Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum) influence the risk of claims. The smaller coverage option, Bronze, has much fewer claims than the complete coverage option, Gold. This may suggest the presence of a moral hazard problem. The financial crisis however impacted the role of the type of coverage had on the risks of claims reducing the moral hazard problem, after controlling for the characteristics of the houses.
