On Catastrophe Insurance Futures and the Market Evolution

Abstract:Catastrophe insurance futures are future contracts based the index linked with catastrophe loss. From 1992 when Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CBOT) launched the ISO catastrophe futures to 1995 when it was replaced by the PCS catastrophe options, then to 2007 when Chicago Futures Exchange (CME) launched the Carvill hurricane index futures, this paper finds that the market evolution is a process of continuous trials and gradual improvements. The overall development treads are the four followings: the possibility of manipulation for the loss index reduced; updating speed increased; moral hazard and information asymmetry decreased; and basis risk lowered.
