Abstract

Foreign direct investments influence insurance markets directly, through foreign insurers’ participation into domestic markets, and indirectly, through diversity of cross-sectoral spillover effects. This article focuses on the indirect effects and examines the relationship between greenfield FDIs and insurance market diversification in the European insurance markets. Using a panel data of 28 countries for the period 2004-2019, we find that greenfield foreign direct investments induce greater diversifications of insurance markets. Our results suggest a presence of non-linear relationship and potential mediating effects of financial development on the FDI-insurance relationship. Robustness tests using different measures of market diversification, model specifications and averaging of the data show consistent results.
