Welcome to the Center for Risk Management and Insurance Research in  the J. Mack Robinson College of Business at Georgia State University.

Established in 1969, the Center studies and disseminates information on trends and issues in the broadly defined areas of insurance and risk management. Recent studies include homeowners insurance, insurer insolvencies, catastrophe risk management, insurance deregulation, international trade in insurance, derivatives, and studies of the health insurance market nationally and in Georgia.

The Center also supports certain educational activities. Most recently, it hosted seminars for international scholars on topics such as social security and insurers' use of derivative financial instruments.The Center is expanding its research and information activities in a major initiative focused on restructuring of the insurance industry and it's regulation.
