      Survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Massacre and their descendants believe historic social injustices should be addressed through reparations.

      by Kenneth A. Froot, Namho Kang, Gideon Ozik, and Ronnie Sadka

      This study by Kenneth A.

      Doomsday Coming for Catastrophic Risk Insurers?

      by Maggie Starvish

      Insurance "reinsurers" underwrite much of the catastrophic risk insurance taken out to protect against huge disasters natural and man-made. Problem is, says Professor Kenneth A. Froot, reinsurers themselves are in danger of failing from a major catastrophic event. Key concepts include: Reinsurers are not distributing risk adequately enough to be able to cover gargantuan losses. Catastrophic reinsurance is more expensive than it needs to be, meaning fewer firms can afford to buy it. Reinsurers should act more like risk-taking investors and less like risk-averse corporations.
