Cummins and Outreville (1987) suggested that the cyclical nature of insurance profits might result from the combination of insurance prices created in an environment of rational expectations with lags in information and in profit reporting. Their theoretical model predicts the autoregressive properties of underwriting profits. They interpret the model as an AR2 process, and from this, they derive the range of cycle lengths and conclude that the hypothesis is in general agreement with the empirical results they present. This paper looks in more detail at empirical tests of this “rational pricing with lags” model of insurance cycles. We find the predicted cycle lengths are often not in the same range as most of the observed cycle lengths. The...
