In the first portion of this post, I will do a bit of reflection on the last week of class. Learning about the insurance model was very interesting to me as I have a connection to the insurance industry. Last summer, I interned at AIG, American International Group, one of the leading insurance carriers in the world. Within my internship, I worked in the executive liability group, which focused on the pricing on insurance for companies. Through this experience, I learned a significant amount regarding the insurance industry. I learned a lot about the factors that affect insurance pricing, a significant amount regarding the corporate industry, and a lot about organizations on the whole. Learning about the insurance model from an economic standpoint was very interesting to me as it put the pieces together in terms of connecting the dots from my summer. Being able to put it all together was something that really helped me to make sense of the model. -------------------------------------
