Research handbook on the economics of insurance law
Insurance law and insurance economics each have long and distinguished scholarly histories, but participants in the two disciplines have not always communicated well across academic silos. This handbook encourages more policy-relevant insurance economics scholarship and more economically-sophisticated legal scholarship by bringing together original contributions from leading scholars in insurance law and insurance economics on a range of issues involving insurance law and regulation.

The Reference Handbook on the Commercial General Liability Policy, Third Edition
In the commercial insurance industry, the commercial general liability (CGL) policy is the most common form of liability insurance purchased by both public and private sectors in the United States and is perhaps the most litigated insurance product in the marketplace. CGL policies provide the insured with a broad spectrum of protection against unintentional and unexpected risk arising out of the conduct of the insured's business.The Reference Handbook on the Commercial General Liability Policy, Third Edition, provides concise overviews of the most salient points of insurance litigation over CGL policies. The Third Edition tracks the standard ISO CGL form and includes general updates on a host of coverage issues, such as the insurer's duty to defend and indemnify, the policyholder's duty to comply with policy conditions, occurrence triggers, covered injuries, damages, insured status, exclusions, loss allocation, and issues beyond the four corners of the policy, like bad faith and jurisdictional concerns. The Third Edition adds new chapters on Coverage C and Supplementary Payments, and weaves in emerging issues such as computer-related liability and opioid litigation.This collaborative work is written by experienced counsel representing both policyholders and insurers. The handbook offers seasoned practitioners with foundational material and leading case law to jump start their research, while guiding newer practitioners through the complexities of CGL policies.

Regulating Capital
Financial instability threatens the global economy. The
volatility of capital movements across national borders has led
many observers to argue for a reformed \"global financial
architecture,\" a body of consistent rules and institutions to
prevent financial crises. Yet regulators have a decidedly mixed
record in their attempts to create global standards for the
financial system. David Andrew Singer seeks to explain the varying
pressures on regulatory agencies to negotiate internationally
acceptable rules and suggests that the variation is largely
traceable to the different domestic political pressures faced by
regulators. In Regulating Capital, Singer provides both a theory of
the effects of domestic pressures on international regulation and a
detailed analysis of regulators' attempts at international
rulemaking in banking, securities, and insurance. Singer addresses
the complexities of global finance in an accessible style, and he
does not turn away from the more dramatic aspects of globalization;
he makes clear the international implications of bank failures and
stock-market crashes, the rise of derivatives, and the catastrophic
financial losses caused by Hurricane Katrina and the events of
September 11.

Pragmatic Vision
On March 23, 2010, President Barack Obama signed the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act into law, providing every
American with the opportunity to have guaranteed health care
coverage. The Affordable Care Act-frequently referred to as
Obamacare-is almost synonymous with Obama's presidential legacy and
reflects a series of key decisions that he made beginning before he
took office. As Meena Bose shows, it was Obama's particular brand
of pragmatic politics that ultimately shaped the passage of the
Affordable Care Act and made a lasting mark on health care reform
in the United States.
Pragmatic Vision examines eight of Obama's decisions
that resulted in the landmark enactment of health care reform,
starting with his commitment to health care reform in the 2008
presidential campaign and concluding with his decision to allow for
flexibility with its implementation, following technical hurdles
and Supreme Court rulings. Bose shows that Obama's steadfast
commitment to the issue was crucial to its passing, especially
after the Democrats lost their filibuster-proof majority in the
Senate. Obama's direct engagement built key political support for
the legislation and was aided by the senior White House staff and
Democratic leaders in Congress who skillfully navigated the bill to
passage just fourteen months after Obama took office.
The story of Obama's leadership in enacting the Affordable Care
Act is a tale of today's partisan divide and the polarization of
Congress. The legislation passed on a party-line vote and continued
to divide politicians long after its passage. Nevertheless, despite
repeated efforts by Republicans to repeal the law, it is more
popular today than ever and seems destined to remain in force until
the next stage of reform. Pragmatic Vision is an
authoritative guide to this singular achievement of the Obama
administration.
