PRAISE FOR MODERNIZING INSURANCE REGULATION

“In Modernizing Insurance Regulation, John Biggs, Matthew Richardson, and their colleagues have provided an extensive analysis of the proper regulatory approach toward insurance companies. It is an important contribution to the needed debate about the unfinished business of the reform of the structure of financial regulation.”

—Paul Volcker, former Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board

“Expertise on bank regulation seems to be everywhere, but when you seek out expertise on insurance regulation, you get mostly blank stares. With Glass-Steagall barriers down and AIG still a vivid memory, this is a serious gap. Which is why Modernizing Insurance Regulation is such an important volume. At last, we have somewhere to turn for a serious and readable treatment of the subject by people who know.”

— Alan S. Blinder, Professor of Economics at Princeton University and the author of After the Music Stopped

“This book identifies the key hard issues in modernizing insurance regulation—systemic concerns, federal vs. state roles, the guarantee associations, and market conduct. Well qualified authorities and practitioners give a balance between significant change versus reliance on the successes of the current structure.”

— Roy Woodall, a former state insurance commissioner and a well-known expert on insurance with more than 50 years of experience in various aspects of insurance regulation and policy

“The GAO has done over the years a number of studies of insurance regulation, responding to problems perceived by Congress. No consensus has developed on what should be done. This book gives a balanced and thoughtful assessment of the core difficult issues.”

— Charles A. Bowsher, Comptroller General of the U.S., 1981 to 1996, led the General Accounting Office (GAO)
