ABSTRACT

This paper empirically examines the effects of risk-based capital requirement on capital, asset risk, sales and profitability of life insurance companies in Korea. According to the results of 2SLS regression analysis based on simultaneous equations system, the adjustment speeds to the target levels of asset risk, sales, and profitability have increased for the companies under regulatory pressure of risk-based capital requirement. According to the difference-in-difference analysis, the introduction of risk-based capital requirement has decreased asset risks of life insurance companies. However, we do not find any concrete evidence that risk-based capital requirement restricted sales and profitability of life insurance companies.
