There are currently two open calls for papers.


Impact of the Insurance Capital Standard (ICS) on Insurance


The Insurance Capital Standard (ICS) aims to provide a common framework for supervisory authorities to assess the capital adequacy of internationally active insurance groups. Implementation of the ICS may have significant impacts on the insurance industry such as influencing jurisdictional supervisory practices and requirements, altering the way insurance companies manage their capital and operate globally, and effecting the pricing and availability of insurance products.

The journal welcomes submissions on a broad range of topics related to ICS and insurance, including but not limited to:

  • The implications of ICS for insurance company profitability, financial performance, and market competitiveness.
  • The effects of ICS on insurer solvency and capital requirements.
  • The impact of ICS on the pricing and availability of long duration (life) insurance.
  • The effects of ICS on the investment strategies and risk management practices of insurance companies.
  • The role of ICS in shaping the structure of the insurance industry.
  • The role of regulatory authorities in implementing ICS and achieving a global standard.

Suggestions for other topics will be considered by the editors. Articles should be original research papers and should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere.


Papers should be submitted electronically at any time, but no later than 15 November 2023, via The Geneva Papers submission site (https://www.editorialmanager.com/gpri). All suitable manuscripts will be peer-reviewed.
