The book is self-contained and anyone with a basic knowledge of probability and statistics should be able to follow through the entire book. It adopts a minimalist approach to describe the essential elements and first principles so that readers can get a gist of these models without being overwhelmed with too much technicality. It can be used as a reference for business model designs. The inclusion of exercises and practical examples makes the book suitable for advanced courses on decentralized insurance and risk sharing. There is a mix of industry practices and academic models presented in this book. The exposition starts with an overview of historic and current business practices and preliminaries on the mathematics and economics of risk and insurance. A bird's-eye view of traditional insurance is provided as a benchmark for various topics to be used in contrast with decentralized insurance. The book then continues with decentralized insurance practices around the world, including online mutual aid originated in China, takaful from the Islamic world, peer-to-peer insurance in the West, catastrophe risk pooling for Carribean countries, etc. Theories of aggregate risk pooling and peer-to-peer risk exchanges are provided for readers to appreciate the mathematical foundation of risk sharing. A unified framework of decentralized insurance is presented to show a structured approach to the economic design of decentralized business models. The book ends with a technical review of blockchain and decentralized finance (DeFi) insurance applications. 001468223 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001468223 650_0 $$aInsurance$$xStatistical methods. 001468223 650_0 $$aInsurance$$xMathematical models. 001468223 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001468223 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aFENG, RUNHUAN.$$tDECENTRALIZED INSURANCE.$$d[Place of publication not identified] : SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PU, 2023$$z3031295587$$w(OCoLC)1371400620 001468223 830_0 $$aSpringer actuarial. 001468223 852__ $$bebk 001468223 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-29559-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001468223 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1468223$$pGLOBAL_SET 001468223 980__ $$aBIB 001468223 980__ $$aEBOOK 001468223 982__ $$aEbook 001468223 983__ $$aOnline 001468223 994__ $$a92$$bISE
