Aims and scope of journal

The journal aims to publish:

• Authoritative contributions regarding risk, insurance and related areas
• Theoretical papers as well as empirical and/or experimental research for global dissemination
• New innovative ideas in insurance economics

THE GENEVA RISK AND INSURANCE REVIEW (GRIR) strives to publish high quality papers that advance our understanding of industry behavioural changes under uncertainty.

The Journal direction is towards economics in general, focusing on risk and insurance in particular. Although most of the papers published are theoretical, GRIR also publishes tests and competing theories in order to expand understanding of insurance economics. The editors are especially interested in new and innovative ideas and see the topic area of 'risk and insurance' rather broadly, encouraging papers from related disciplines.

Published twice a year this international journal endeavours to provide a forum for the exchange of academic findings and views, whilst also supporting and encouraging research for all those in the insurance industry who search for current innovations in their sector concerning risk, uncertainty and insurance.

Before June 2005, the Journal was formally known as "The Geneva Papers on Risk and Insurance Theory".
