This paper finds a strong size effect for the total business of 106 U.K. life companies from the 1981–82 Insurance Directory and Year Book.The industry is regulated by the 1982 Insurance Companies Act which consolidated earlier legislation. This does not control output or prices of firms but many other items including investment. The industry is not highly concentrated with the five largest firms in 1980 with 30% of premiums. In 1980, total ordinary branch premiums amounted to £5.8 billion.Section 2 surveys briefly some relevant research, while §3 discusses the data and size and other economic factors for life assurance firms. Section 4 discusses the empirical results while §5 has a brief conclusion.
