The value of privacy – empirical research, using drivers as an example

Journal article in European Research Studies Journal

While a maximum of 15% discount relates to as many as 37,45% of the respondents. The factors like gender, age, education, and place of residence of the respondents influence the level of expectations.

Usage-Based Insurance and its acceptance: an empirical approach

Journal article in Risk Management and Insurance Review

Abstract

The value of privacy. Empirical research, using Polish drivers as an example

Conference poster from 31st Asian-Pacific Conference on International Accounting Issues (APC 2019), Warsaw, Poland

Abstract

The research assesses expectations regarding the amount of discount in insurance premium, which could compensate insured for loss of privacy should it transpire that one’s driving style is to be monitored.

The lack of the equilibrium on the motor insurance market in Poland

Conference paper from The Economies of the Balkan and the Eastern European Countries in the changing world (EBEEC 2018), Warsaw, Poland

Motor insurance in Poland plays a dominant role in the portfolios of most insurers. At the end of 2016, it accounted for a total of 60.27% of the direct gross written premium of non-life insurance sector, with the share of motor third party liability insurance (MTPL) accounting for 36.2%. Fierce competition and the diminishing diversification of the offer on the motor insurance market led to significant decreases in the margin, and hence, the income of insurers. Year 2016 brought the biggest loss ever. The technical loss of MTPL has remained in this segment for many years since 2007 and at the end of 2016 exceeded PLN 1 billion.

Usage-Based Insurance: the concept and study of available analyses

Journal article in Insurance Review

Abstract

Accordingly, the main purpose of this paper is to facilitate a better understanding of the topic through a review and summary of selected literature and research achievements, which may prove useful in a discussion about domestic UBI.
