Competition effects of price liberalization in insurance

Article Abstract:

The interaction between business firms during price regulation is found to be marked with cooperation, while competition is observed to increase after deregulation of prices. Two models which represent the regulated price and deregulated price markets are used in the process of determining the interaction between firms before and after price liberalization. An application to the Portuguese automobile-insurance market is also presented.
