Необходимость и актуальность научного исследования заключается в том, что механизм перераспределения рисков предполагает создание консолидированного страхового фонда за счет взносов страхователей, с дальнейшим осуществлением выплат в случае наступления страхового случая. В большинстве случаев этот механизм действует в отношении неограниченного круга лиц, но существуют кэптивные страховые компании, предназначенные для страхования заранее определенного круга лиц, аффилированных собственнику или собственникам страховой компании. В связи с этим основной целью магистерской диссертации является разработка стратегии развития кэптивной страховой компании, выявление факторов, влияющих на развитие кэптивных структур в современных российских экономических условиях на основе изучение экономической основы функционирования кэптивных страховых компаний. Методами научного исследования выступают приемы теоретического и эмпирического познания функционирования кэптивных страховых компаний. В заключении обозначены рекомендации по совершенствованию системы управления кэптивной страховой компанией для успешного развития кэптивных страховых структур в России.

Empirical results extracted from a sample of 70 developed and emerging countries, from which 40 former colonies, provide evidence that the legal traditions brought by colonizers (British Common Law and French Civil Code), alongside the mortality rates of first colonial settlers, influenced the formation and the quality of long-lasting institutions, with strong implications for the insurance markets and its different development levels seen today among the various countries / Este artigo discute os determinantes históricos, ao mesmo tempo em que estima a contribuição das leis e das instituições na determinação do nível atual de desenvolvimento de uma indústria que desempenha um papel fundamental na economia moderna: seguros. Resultados empíricos extraídos de uma amostra de 70 países (desenvolvidos e emergentes), bem como de 40 antigas colônias, evidenciam que as tradições legais trazidas pelos colonizadores (Lei Comum Britânica e Código Civil Francês) e a taxa de mortalidade dos primeiros colonizadores influenciaram na formação e na qualidade das instituições no longo prazo, com fortes implicações para o mercado de seguros, explicando então as diferenças nos níveis atuais de desenvolvimento desta indústria entre os países

[pt] Esta dissertação investiga a presença de informação assimétrica no mercado de planos de saúde do Brasil e os principais efeitos gerados por essa assimetria de informação, conhecidos como seleção adversa e risco moral (moral hazard). A partir de dados do Suplemento Saúde da PNAD 98, são feitas análises descritivas e realizadas inferências estatísticas para avaliação tanto do risco moral quanto da seleção adversa. Na busca por um melhor entendimento do problema de seleção adversa estima-se também um modelo logístico para investigação da relação entre a condição de uma pessoa ter plano de saúde e variáveis explicativas tais como, renda, idade e auto- avaliação do estado de saúde, dentre outras. Em uma etapa subseqüente, são realizadas inferências sobre o risco moral por intermédio de dois procedimentos distintos: no primeiro, a partir da construção de um indicador de risco moral, denominado IRM, analisa-se a diferença entre o número de consultas médicas ambulatoriais realizadas por indivíduos com e sem plano de saúde levando-se em consideração o plano amostral da PNAD 98; o segundo, consiste num procedimento que tem por objetivo verificar a relação entre o fato de uma pessoa ter plano de saúde e o número de consultas médicas realizadas, por intermédio da estimação de um modelo binomial negativo com barreira (hurdle negative binomial model). / [en] The aim of this dissertation is to investigate the presence of asymmetric information in the Brazilian health insurance market and the effects that arises due to this asymmetric information: adverse selection and moral hazard. Using the data set of the Health Supplement of the Brazilian Household Sample Survey (Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios - PNAD) for the year 1998, descriptive analysis are produced and statistical inferences are realized to evaluate the moral hazard and adverse selection. In order to have a better perception of the adverse selection problem it is estimated a logistic model to evaluate the relation among the condition of having a health plan and independent variables such as income, age, and health self- perception. In a next step inferences related to moral hazard are realized by two different procedures: the first one, based on the construction of a moral hazard indicator, named MHI, analyses the differences between the number of physician visits for individuals who have and who have not a health plan, considering the sample design of the Health Supplement of the Brazilian Household Sample Survey. The second procedure aims to verify the relation between having a health plan and the number of physician visits by estimating a hurdle negative binomial model, which allows the elimination of some bias in the average number of physician visits.

I use the positive correlation test, proposed by Chiappori and Salanié (2000), to assess the existence of asymmetric information in this market. I estimate the effect of health plan on treatment usage, controlling for many variables (measured blood pressure, age, smoker, etc.), identifying the effect of the plan. I use this coefficients as plan characteristics and estimate their effects on plan purchase using a simple logit regression. The coefficients from this estimation show the relative importance of anticipated moral hazard of different treatments on health plan choice. I find evidence of asymmetric information in the market for every state, in either the Metropolitan Area or not, and for the country as a whole. When performing the positive correlation test using hospitalizations as the usage variable, where moral hazard is assumed to be controlled, I find this evidence only for young women and for the last age group (59 years or more). I find no evidence of asymmetric information for plans paid through work, as expected. Several treatments are used more by people with plans, even when controlling for adverse selection. The analysis suggests that some of those are relevant for plan purchase.

This potential issue is undermined by Gini Index and other market Power tests that indicate that prices were not affected accordingly. International experience shows concentration to be higher in life insurance than non life insurance. This fact has impact in prices, which are higher in life insurance market, and indicates relevant differences between life and non life insurance markets. / Os mercados de seguros regulados pela SUSEP apresentaram queda no número de empresas e elevação no índice de concentração de Herfindahl Hirschman. O que parece um quadro preocupante no âmbito da regulação é atenuado pela diminuição do índice de Gini e outros testes de poder de mercado que não indicam que esta queda no número de empresas tenha tido impacto sobre o nível de preços. Assim como esperado a partir da evidência internacional, a concentração é maior nos mercados de seguros de vida do que nos não-vida. Este fato tem reflexo nos preços, que apresentam patamares mais altos nos seguros de vida, indicando diferença mais substancial entre mercados.
