Book Description
The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (TRIA) was crafted in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks after the insurance industry, stung by $32 billion in damage claims (by current estimates) and fearing another attack of equal magnitude, began to exclude terrorism coverage from policies. The legislation requires insurance companies to make terrorism insurance available to customers and, in return, provides federal reinsurance (a "backstop") for losses from terrorist attacks. It is intended to give insurers time to assess their exposure to terrorism risk and to consider how to price and underwrite the risk. TRIA is set to expire at the end of December 2005. TRIA embodies federal policy that a private insurance market will provide the foundation of the financial recovery from future terrorist attacks. It also recognizes that since the risk is unfamiliar to the industry, federal government assistance should, at least in the short run, be made available to support this market. In this book, we examine whether this policy and, in particular, the architecture of TRIA provide robust protection against the threat of losses from future attacks. By robust, we ask specifically whether the structure of TRIA is in line with the fundamental qualities of the risk of terrorism and with likely evolving trends in this threat. The focus of the analysis is on developments that have relevance for terrorist attacks taking place within the borders of the continental United States and the extent to which they are addressed (or not) by the TRIA framework.

Book Description
The Terrorism Risk Insur. Act. (TRIA) specifies that the fed. gov¿t. assume financial responsibility for insured losses on commercial properties resulting from future terrorist attacks. While TRIA has been credited with stabilizing markets for terrorism insur. after 9/11, questions remain as to whether certain policyholders, esp. those located in large urban areas viewed as being at high risk of attack, may still face challenges in obtaining coverage. This study describes: (1) whether the availability of terrorism insurance for commercial properties is constrained in any geographic markets; (2) factors limiting insurers¿ willingness to provide coverage; and (3) advantages and disadvantages of selected public policy options to increase the availability of such insurance.

Book Description
The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA) requires insurers to offer commercial insurance that will pay on claims that occur from a terrorist attack, and for losses on the scale of 9/11, TRIA provides a "backstop" in the form of free reinsurance. The authors describe the evolving terrorist threat with the goal of comparing the underlying risk of attack to the architecture of financial protection that has been facilitated by TRIA.

Book Description
The terrorist attacks of 9/11, have resulted in insured losses of $32.5 billion. To help restore confidence and stability in property insurance markets, the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 was passed under which the fed. gov¿t. assumed significant responsibility for the potential insured financial losses associated with future terrorist attacks. However, some remain concerned that there may still be gaps in coverage. There are concerns about the ability of policyholders located in large urban areas that are viewed as being at high risk of attack to obtain terrorism insurance coverage. This study determines if specific markets in the U.S. have any unique constraints on the amount of terrorism insurance available and to evaluate options to enhance coverage.

Book Description
Prior to the 11 September 2011 terrorist attacks, insurance coverage for losses from such attacks was normally included in general insurance policies without specific cost to the policyholders. Following the attacks, such coverage became very expansive if insurers offered it at all. Because insurance is required for a variety of economic transactions, it was feared that the absence of insurance against terrorism loss would have a wider economic impact. Private terrorism insurance was largely unavailable for most of 2002 and some have argued that this adversely affected parts of the economy. Congress responded to the disruption in the terrorism insurance market by passing the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (TRIA). TRIA created a temporary three-year Terrorism Insurance Program in which the government would share some of the losses with private insurers should a foreign terrorist attack occur. This book analyses the TRIA program at ten years and the future of the terrorism risk insurance program.
