Does Ownership Structure Matter? A Cost Efficiency Study of Life Insurance Firms in Indonesia

Abstract: This paper is about the cost and profit efficiency of Indonesia’s life insurance industry. Using data from 2010–2014, we compare cost and profit efficiency among local and joint venture insurers. Our empirical analysis, based on a time-invariant translog cost model, reveals mean cost allocation and profit efficiency scores of 0.36 and 0.52, respectively. Interestingly, we find that domestic insurers are more cost efficient compared to joint venture insurers; however, joint venture insurers maximize profit more. Show more

“…Przy określaniu efektywności zysków przyjęto podejście efektywności alternatywnego zysku (alternative profit efficiency) 27 , które zakłada występowanie rynku o konkurencji niedoskonałej 28 , w przeciwieństwie do podejścia efektywności granicznej zysku standardowego, wykorzystywanego na rynkach o konkurencji doskonałej. W podejściu alternatywnym uwzględnia się różnice w jakości usług świadczonych przez ubezpieczycieli oraz w zakresie informacji o cenach produktów ubezpieczeniowych.…”
