Abstract

Central, Eastern, and Southeastern European insurance markets have garnered considerable research attention in recent years. Yet, that research has been constrained by a dearth of insurer‐level data. This paper highlights XPRIMM as a promising source of insurer data and uses this data set to provide an illustrative analysis of insurance prices in Central and Eastern Europe. We also discuss the limitations of XPRIMM data and efforts to overcome these limitations through the creation of a more comprehensive data set.
