Pandemics – Liability and Insurance

On 23-24 June 2022, ETL, in collaboration with ECTIL, successfully hosted the 19th Joint Seminar of the International Association for the Study of Insurance Economics (The Geneva Association) and the European Association of Law and Economics (EALE) in Vienna. Its aim was to ensure that what has been learned in the current pandemic is not forgotten and put to paper at the highest possible level. We would therefore like to express our special thanks to all participants for the interdisciplinary exchange, which will contribute to A better handling of the current and – hopefully faraway – next pandemic.

A selection of the papers from the seminar was invited for publication in a special issue of The Geneva Papers on Risk and Insurance — Issues and Practice, which was published with Palgrave.

The project was led by Christophe Courbage (Geneva School of Business Administration), Michael Faure (METRO/Erasmus University Rotterdam), and Ernst Karner (ECTIL/ETL/University of Vienna).
