“…Such failure is of course blatant here, but we would like to stress the role of active innovation in ritual, not just a dialectic of diverging dynamics. Such innovation is clearly restricted here, however, by the traditional character of the ritual, unlike what we see among low-caste priestesses of Bengal(Carrin 1997a). 14 The Hindu term dharma may be translated variously, but in this context stands for the right moral order of the world, the order that the king must maintain if he is to incarnate the ideals of kingship.…”

“…A significant part of the research analyzes the political and financial feasibility of the introduction of SHI schemes. Some examples include the assessment of the financial preparedness of Lesotho and Swaziland for the introduction of an SHI scheme, 23,24 the evaluation of different reform scenarios in South Africa and Kenya, 25,26 and discussions around the political acceptability of SHI in Kenya and Nigeria. 27,28,29 In Ghana and Gabon, SHI has been combined with schemes to cover the informal sector and the poor.…”

“…30,31 Few papers, however, discuss the mechanisms for financing exemptions for the poor or the institutional arrangements that promote the corresponding good financial fund management. 32,33 Given the above-mentioned difficulty of taxing the informal sector, over 40 percent of countries have opted for the creation of voluntary schemes such as community-based health insurance (CBHI). 34 The fervor for CHBI can be explained by two interconnected factors.…”

“…The emergence of insurance schemes encourages the overprovision of high-tech and medically unnecessary care, leading to significantly higher costs of treatment for insured patients. 73 The absence of an insurance culture manifests itself in low levels of demand due to conflicts of interest between microinsurers and public goals, such as coverage of chronic illnesses, 74 reluctance to engage in risk pooling that goes beyond traditional boundaries such as families, villages or ethnic groups, 75 and a low degree of risk aversion and/or a misperception of risks. 76 All these problems imply that addressing health risks using traditional insurance mechanisms may be at odds with societal values in some developing countries.…”

This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the insurability of risks in microinsurance markets. Our aim is to enhance the understanding of impediments to and facilitators of microinsurance from an economic perspective and outline potential solutions. The motivation for conducting this analysis arises from two important aspects. (1) Despite strong growth of microinsurance markets in recent years, more than 90 per cent of the poor population in developing countries have limited or no access to insurance.(2) Industry practitioners frequently highlight problems in the insurability of risks that hinder the development of microinsurance. We review 131 papers and find that the most severe problems stem from insufficient resources for risk evaluation, small size of insurance groups, information asymmetries and the size of the insurance premium. On the basis of the analysis, we discuss a number of potential solutions such as, for example, a cooperative microinsurance architecture. The Geneva Papers (2012) 37, 77-107. doi:10.1057/gpp.2011.29 Keywords: microinsurance; insurability; moral hazard; adverse selection IntroductionThe aim of this paper is to conduct a systematic analysis of the insurability of risks in microinsurance markets, point out critical aspects that hinder their development and outline potential solutions to problems in these markets. Microinsurance is commonly defined as a financial arrangement intended to protect low-income people against specific perils in exchange for regular premium payments proportionate to the likelihood and cost of the risk involved. 1 The microinsurance industry has seen strong growth in recent years, with average annual growth rates of approximately 10 per cent. 2 Industry practitioners, however, estimate that only 5 per cent of the potential market is covered, and that there is a high degree of variability in terms of risk and geographical coverage, leaving large segments of the world's poor population with limited or no access to insurance. 3 1 See Churchill (2007). There exist two widespread definitions of microinsurance. Churchill (2007) refers to microinsurance as insurance for low-income people. Dror and Jacquier (1999) define microinsurance as financially autonomous schemes operating at the local level. Throughout this paper, we refer to the definition by Churchill (2007), but also integrate the aspect that microinsurance is typically operated in small locally focused insurance schemes. 2 See Lloyd's and Microinsurance Centre (2009). 3 See Roth et al. (2007). The Geneva Papers, 2012, 37, (77-107) Providing insurance in developing countries is subject to a large array of problems, many of which are frequently addressed in practitioner studies. 4 These studies reveal numerous problems with insurability, including moral hazard, adverse selection, correlated risks, high transaction costs and lack of data, making microinsurance challenging from an economic perspective. Whereas insurability is relevant in all insurance markets, the crucial question in the case of...
