Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Attention is particularly focused on risk management against large earthquake after the Great East Japan Earthquake. However, previous researches have not clarified the factors affecting risk management activities such as seismic strengthening and earthquake insurance purchase. In this projects, we conducted a survey of risk management and earthquake insurance to Japanese households. We have tried to explain seismic strengthening and earthquake insurance purchase by employing traditional economics (risk aversion) and behavioral economics (ambiguity aversion). We provide the evidence that financial knowledge affects insurance purchase in this research projects. Also, we try to provide implications for policy makers and insurers on household’s risk management against catastrophe.
