Earthquake Insurance, Catastrophe Insurance and Earthquake Risk & Loss: a Comparative Analysis Based on CiteSpace

Abstract

China suffers severe earthquake disasters. Earthquake insurance can effective transfer and disperse earthquake risk. This paper compared the keyword cluster and institution network of earthquake insurance, other catastrophe insurance and earthquake risk & loss. The keyword cluster showed that earthquake insurance and other catastrophe study relied on non-engineering approach, such as institutions, policy and risk management. While study about earthquake risk & loss mainly relied on engineering approach. Besides, the institution network of earthquake insurance and earthquake risk & loss indicated that there was a lack of institutional cooperation and gaps between natural science and social science. As earthquake insurance is a multidiscipline reform of risk management, earthquake insurance study should need multidiscipline studies.
