The impact of human development on the Romanian life insurance market: A county spatial econometric analysis

This work adds to the debate on the determinants of the demand for life insurance providing new insights for the unexplored Romanian market, and the new perspective of spatial econometric analysis. Results show that there are spatial interactions between the Romanian counties regarding the life insu...

The spatial econometrics regression models emphasize significant diffusion and contagion processes on the local Romanian life insurance market.
