This study examines the impact of alternative distribution channels on policyowners' costs and profitability of ordinary life insurers. Using performance data and company characteristics for a sample of forty-five ordinary life insurers, step-wise regression analysis was applied to examine the relationship between alternative distribution channels and life insurer profitability and policyowners' costs. The results from this study do not support any specific relationship between life insurer profits or policyowners' costs and the type of distribution channel employed by a life insurer. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 56-04, Section: A, page: 1418. / Major Professor: Robert A.
