保險學:經營與監理

出版日:2022/09/01 作者:鄭濟世  出版社:新陸書局  裝訂:平裝
近期以來,由於新冠疫情、烏俄戰爭、通貨膨脹等因素干擾,使得全球經濟面臨衰退現象,加上我國壽險業國外投資比率偏高,造成資產減損、淨值萎縮財務衝擊。因此,如何化解危機已成為保險業當前之重要課題。 為因應上述政經環境改變,本書三版對國內因新冠肺炎防疫保單引發之爭議、保險經紀人代理人之監管、保險商品透過「銀行保險」行銷通路之興起、再保險業務之監管、國際會計準則之分析、資金運用國外投資之限制、公司治理之落實等,作為修正之重點。 本書重視理論、實務分析,以寬闊視野為基礎,就保險基本原則與法律條文配合呼應,並結合相關之經濟學、統計學、會計學、管理學等,以各個學科角度,對保險加以深入探討,俾便讀者完整瞭解「保險學」經營與監管之特色。 風險(risk) 一般係指永遠有機會發生意想不到的事。自古以來,人類在沒有風險機率的概念下,認為一切事故的發生,都是神的旨意,但自印度的阿拉伯數字流傳世界各地以後,人們開始檢視賭局與人類活動中的規律性,並企圖掌控過程,可惜的是,因為有太多的事是我們所不知道的,因此轉而以更謙虛的心,承認「不確定性」的存在。因為1921年美國經濟學 家富蘭克.H.奈特(Frank H.Knight)曾告誡大眾,「經濟學家的知識是有限的」,其預測的失誤是不可避免的,因為經濟學更確地說,它是理論經濟學,它享有科學的殊榮,但也有科學的局限性。 從現代人的角度看,風險也可說是一種選擇,跟命運無關,與賭博不同。在保險學裡,「風險」指的是「損失的不確定性」,因為我們永遠都有意想不到的事情會發生,從出遊會不會遇到壞天氣或遭遇意外事故,到股票投資等等,問題或大或小,都和風險有關。 解決風險最有效的辦法,就是保險,十七世紀英國女王伊麗莎白一世 (Elizabeth I)曾於莎士比亞的戲劇「威尼斯商人」演出後頒布法令,明文規定:「保險係少數人之重大損失,由多數人輕微分擔的一種制度」,可見她對 保險的重視,進而促使英國成為今日全球的保險重心,並引以為傲。 保險的核心價值在提供保障,十九世紀英國哲學家傑瑞米.邊沁 (Jeremy Bentham)所提「效益主義」(Utilitarianism) 將人類的痛苦與快樂,藉著理性與法律的手,創造幸福人生。他在考慮買賣時,更把重心放在「心理因素」,並朝向抽象的領域發展,宣稱「價值決定於效用,效用會隨著一個人已經擁有的商品數量而改變」,換句話說,世間任何事
