Insurance
Insurance, in
law and
economics, is a form of
risk management primarily used to
hedge against the
risk of a contingent loss. Insurance is defined as the equitable transfer of the risk of a loss, from one entity to another, in exchange for a premium. Insurer, in economics, is the company that sells the insurance. Insurance rate is a factor used to determine the amount, called the premium, to be charged for a certain amount of insurance coverage.
Risk management, the practice of appraising and controlling risk, has evolved as a discrete field of study and practice.
