“…The result is a quota that aims to operationalize firm density and industry networks in a region. This measure is commonly used in entrepreneurial literature [127][128][129]. The variable, startups, counts enterprise birth rates in each region between 2018 and 2020.…”

This study explores which local factors affect the creation of sustainable or green startups in a geographical area. The analysis aims to help regional legislators get a more nuanced view of regional economic and sustainable policymaking and to promote a transition toward a greener economy. Building on knowledge spillover theory, results from 4301 companies across Europe show that the driving factors for the emergence of green startups go beyond funding opportunities. Knowledge exchange and industry networks are equally if not more important in attracting green entrepreneurs. Results also reveal that green startups are more likely than non-green startups to change their location. Of those who change their location, green founders prefer large cities and have a negative inclination to establish their companies in small cities. Companies in the sustainable information technology (IT) industry are less likely to change their location, whereas green manufacturing companies are more likely to change. In summation, results indicate that the location choices and resulting evolution of clusters for green startups are based on a number of variables, including local knowledge stock and spillovers, company density, availability of educated talent, and industry affiliations.

“…According to KPMG's life insurance insights 2020, Australian life insurance companies premium revenue decreased by 6.1% to $17.3 billion, compared to approximately $18.4 billion per annum for the 2017 to 2019 period [3]. Moreover, according to Arych, Mykhailo, and Walter Darcy [8], approximately 21%-36% of life insurance claims involve factors of suspected fraud, but only 3% of them are prosecuted. Although researchers have invested great effort to conquer the problem of insurance claims and risk management using various effective risk management methods, these methods are often inadequate to handle the claim and risk management problems [35,16,31,23].…”

Analysis of claims and risk management is the key task to avoid frauds and to provide risk management in the life insurance industry. Though visualization plays a fundamental role in supporting analysis tasks of the business domain, exploring user behaviour remains a challenging task. The prevalence of natural language interactions aided with data visualization has become quite the norm. With the increasing demand of visualization tools and varying level of user expertise, it comes as no surprise the use of natural languages interface. However, the design of visual analytics tools aided with natural language interfaces (NLIs) for risk management and claim analysis requires thorough task analysis and domain expertise. In this work, we investigate an alternative approach through a natural language interaction based interactive visualization such as chart, pie, and histogram, which can be applied for analyzing insurance claims and risk management. We design a new visual analytics solution (VAS) named (InsCRMVis 1 ) aided with NLIs. We present an expert evaluation

“…As social protection of population is closely related to economy and its determinants, researchers analysed its system as a mechanism to stimulate the economic development (Malyovanyi et al, 2018). According to Arych and Darcy (2020) the life insurance industry is one of the most important and powerful tools for social and economic welfare. The insurance demand has been examined empirically for more than 50 years internationally (Liebertberg et al, 2012).…”

This study examines the demand for life insurance in a rapidly developing economic environment in South East Asia, focusing on Malaysia. The study extends the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) by introducing a mediating variable 'Persuasion' in examining the demand for life insurance among policy buyers. Fuelled by the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the life insurance market is expected to grow significantly and the role of the state and regulatory body to regulate this process would be pivotal. Given the increasing significance of this industry both before and after the epidemic, this study identifies seven research variables from previous literature sources related to finance and international insurance, including financial literacy, saving motives, religiosity, risk aversion, agent, persuasion and purchase intention of life insurance. A causal research design is used to formulate research framework and testable hypotheses for this study. Data collection encompasses face to face interviews with 385 life insurance policy holders between May 2019 and March 2020 by using a survey
