RMI Conference Tackles
Insurance Regulation
The Future of Insurance Regulation was the
focus of a conference on July 9 in Washington, D.C. cosponsored by
Department of Risk Management and Insurance, the Robinson College, the
American Enterprise Institute, and the Brookings Institution.
The conference focused on the reform of the
system for insurance regulation in the United States, which has
received increasing attention with the issuance of a Treasury
Department plan to revamp the Federal regulatory structure for
financial services including insurance.
Among those making presentations at the
day-long event were Martin Grace, James S. Kemper Professor of Risk
Management, Professor of Legal Studies and Associate Director of
Robinson’s Center for Risk Management & Insurance Research; and
Robert Klein, Associate Professor and Director of the Risk Management
and Insurance Department. Also speaking was Robinson Professor Emeritus
Harold Skipper.
