From the supplier: The scale efficiency in the Canadian insurance companies was examined by applying an intertemporal product differentiation oligopoly model to a sample of federally chartered insurance companies covering the period from 1988 to 1991. The results revealed substantial short-run scale economies in terms of stock of policies and output of new policies issued for the preceding periods. The findings also showed that certain classifications of mergers can result in lower premiums and enhanced welfare for both consumers and producers of insurance products.
