The Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Health Insurers
Shrivatsa, Ishira (2022-09)
The U.S. health insurance industry, which owns over $380 billion in financial assets, was placed in the spotlight when the Covid-19 pandemic began in the spring of 2020.1 The pandemic led to health-care-specific changes, such an increase in Covid-19 testing and related hospitalizations, as well as a temporary postponement or cancellation of elective procedures to make space for Covid-19 patients.

Dynan, Karen E.; Dokko, Jane K.; Amromin, Gene (2020-06-30)

The Role of Primary Dealers in Mitigating Liquidity Risk at U.S. Central Counterparties
