In seiner auf Zeitreihendaten der versicherungswirtschaftlichen Entwicklung und auf relevanten gesamtwirtschaftlichen Einflussfaktoren basierenden Untersuchung der Kompositversicherung zeigt Matthias Hofer den engen Zusammenhang zwischen der versicherungswirtschaftlichen Entwicklung und gesamtwirtschaftlichen Grossen wie z.B. dem Bruttoinlandsprodukt. Es wird deutlich, dass die Berucksichtigung spezieller Faktoren in den einzelnen Versicherungszweigen zu einer Verbesserung der Modelle fuhren kann.
