1 The Cost of Terrorism: How Much Can We Afford? National Association of Business Economics 46th Annual Meeting Philadelphia, PA October 4, 2004 Robert P. Hartwig, Ph.D., CPCU, Senior Vice President & Chief Economist Insurance Information Institute 110 William Street New York, NY Tel: (212) Fax: (212)

2 Presentation Outline TRIA Background & Update Is Terrorism an Insurable Risk Yet? Determinants of insurability Workers comp-specific problems Capacity, Capital & Financial Strength The Global Face of Terrorism The Market for Terrorism Insurance Politicization of the Terrorism Threat Q & A

3 Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA): UPDATE TRIA expires 12/31/05 (enacted Nov. 26, 2002) Pan-industry coalition coalescing around a 2-year extension House subcommittee hearings held April 28 went well H.B introduced in June 2004 Passed by subcommittee September 30 Senate hearings May 18 many committee members amenable BUT seem inclined to wait for Treasury study due June 2005 Reauthorization opposed by some groups (e.g., CFA, AEI) Exclusionary language (except WC) for terror already developed by ISO & approved in 46 jurisdictions

4 Federal National Security and Counterterrorism Spending $600 $500 $400 $354 $547 Federal national security and antiterror spending increased by 55% between FY2001 and FY2004 $ Billions $300 $200 $100 Total Excludes: Billions spent by state and local governments Mitigation costs borne by private industry $0 Cost of terrorism insurance FY2001 FY2004 Source: 9/11 Commission.

7 ARE WE THERE YET? THREE YEARS AFTER 9/11, IS TERRORISM AN INSURABLE RISK?

8 Terrorism Violates Traditional Requirements for Insurability Requirement Estimable Frequency Estimable Severity Definition Insurance requires large number of observations to develop predictive rate-making models (an actuarial concept known as credibility) Maximum possible/ probable loss must be at least estimable in order to minimize risk of ruin (insurer cannot run an unreasonable risk of insolvency though assumption of the risk) Violation Very few data points Terror modeling still in infancy, untested. US intelligence infrastructure deeply flawed. Potential loss is virtually unbounded. Losses can easily exceed insurer capital resources for paying claims. Extreme risk in workers compensation and statute forbids exclusions. Source: Insurance Information Institute

9 Terrorism Violates Traditional Requirements for Insurability (cont d) Requirement Diversifiable Risk Random Loss Distribution/ Fortuity Definition Must be able to spread/distribute risk across large number of risks Law of Large Numbers helps makes losses manageable and less volatile Probability of loss occurring must be purely random and fortuitous Events are individually unpredictable in terms of time, location and magnitude Violation Losses likely highly concentrated geographically or by industry (e.g., WTC, power plants) Take-up rate low outside most atrisk zones/industries leads to adverse selection problem Terrorism attacks are planned, coordinated and deliberate acts of destruction Dynamic target shifting from hardened targets to soft targets Terrorist adjust tactics to circumvent new security measures Actions of US and foreign governments may affect likelihood, nature and timing of attack Source: Insurance Information Institute

10 Modeling Severity & Frequency Weapons Selection Frequency Exposure Location # & Type Employee Blast/Explosion Chemical Biological Radiological Other (e.g., Dam Failure) Casualty Footprint Physical distributio n of intensity of event Weapon availability Target attractiveness Relative attractiveness of region State-by- State Analysis Targets Type of structure/ facility Sources: Insurance Information Institute based on NCCI Item Filing B-1383 & EQECAT modeling.

11 Additional Insurability Concerns Information Problems: Traditional Insurance assumes that emerging issue information is available and shared (Terrorism information sharing is asymmetric Classified data is not shared). Unique Role & Responsibility of Government: Insurance is designed for policyholders insurable interests (Victims of terrorism are mostly surrogate targets for attacks mainly aimed at government, and the government is in a unique position to influence the likelihood of attack based upon foreign policy.) Source (this slide and next three): Terrorism, TRIA, and a Timeline to Market Turmoil? by James Macdonald of ACE USA, presentation before the Real Estate Roundtable, April 22, 2004.

12 Additional Insurability Concerns Surplus Impairment Risk: Statutory Accounting requires insurers to set aside reserves for the ultimate liabilities arising from the insurance policies they underwrite. (Insurers are not allowed to post reserves for losses that have not occurred. Therefore, insurers are not allowed to post reserves specifically related to catastrophe losses from natural perils or terrorism until they actually occur. As a result, catastrophe losses deplete insurer s capital & surplus base intended for the security of all policyholders). Pre-Loss Funding: Almost all insurance assumes that premiums are paid first, normally at the inception of the policy. (In terrorism programs or pools, private and public sector solutions, such as TRIA, often use a combination of pre-loss and post-loss funding. )

13 Terrorism & Workers Comp: Unique Insurability Problems Unlimited risk-of-ruin due to uncapped medical obligations and lifetime income payments 9/11 transformed many WC underwriting decisions into capital management decisions. WC insurers cannot exclude terrorism in any state. WC take-up ratio = 100% With the exception of PA state WC laws do not even permit exclusion of war. Traditional statewide rating approach is completely unsuitable for pricing terrorism Office worker in Times Square = Same premium as office worker in Rochester? Also: Lowest rated classes present disproportionate risk to terrorist loss (assuming an attack similar to 9/11): office, secretarial (8810).

14 Terrorism & Workers Comp: Unique Insurability Problems New Exposure Basis: Employees by location not yet formally embraced by rating agencies new underwriting & exposure management systems now required. Catastrophe Reinsurance: Prior to 9/11, life insurers provided low-cost WC reinsurance over single event insurer retentions of $10 million or less with no Terrorism or NRBC exclusion. New Bermuda capacity has not replaced the life reinsurers, who exited market after 9/11. No NRBC is available to today for national account insurers.

52 THE POLITICIZATION OF TERRORISM

53 If They Don t Know, Insurers Can t Presume to Know Either

54 They re Here and Plans are 90% Complete to Attack Most major government officials believe another attack is imminent Terrorists plans are 90% complete for next attack Government has no idea of how, when, where, who or what kind of attack is next.

55 Ability of Terrorism to Affect Political Outcomes Also Suggests Terrorism Uninsurable March 11 Madrid bombings taught us that terrorism can be used to not only kill people and destroy property, but affect political outcomes American actions abroad likely influence likelihood of attack in US. [e.g., Is Iraq an al Qaeda recruiting tool?] Both seem to be inconsistent with insurability

56 Number of Chemical Plants that Could Threaten Nearby People 7,728 EPA Homeland Security How is it that the EPA DHS come to such radically different conclusions? DHS estimate is 43% less than EPA 4,391 DHS estimate is 98% less than EPA Threatens More Than 1,000 People Threatens More Than 1,000,000 People Source: EPA and Department of Homeland Security from the Wall Street Journal, Chemical Plants Still Have Few Terror Controls, August 20, 2004, p. B1; Insurance Information Institute

57 Summary Large scale attacks still not insurable even 3 years after 9/11 Too many solvency-threatening scenarios Workers Compensation has many unique problems and take-up rate is 100%; No exclusions allowed Politicization of terror risk makes insuring against terror even more problematic Timely TRIA renewal in jeopardy
