SIFR organizes an annual conference on a theme in financial economics. 2015's theme is insurance economics. The conference is based on a dialog between academic economists and insurance industry representatives. We intend to highlight how the industry can adapt to new risks, e.g. in the climate area; how insurance contracts can be designed to make it easier for consumers to choose the right protection; how new products can be developed against risks that are not insurable today; how financial contracts can replace traditional insurance products; how the industry is affected by regulations, etc.
