Abstract

By examining the distribution of the total net premiums written by the 100 largest reinsurance companies in the world, this paper documents two dimensions of the change in market concentration: the trend in concentration in the world's largest companies, and the relative position of these companies by countries. A statistical analysis is developed and factors that may have an impact on concentration patterns are examined.
