Insurance as a cybernetic institution of self-regulation of the national economy

Extract

The present referendum is only indirectly connected with the themes of the fifth Colloquium of ASTIN. It is more or less a memorandum about the actual work of Polish actuaries in the sector of the Insurance Theory and trying out a new conception and solution of social and economic problems of Property and Capital Insurances.

The principles and hypotheses of the cybernetic insurance theory posed in this referendum are a result of social situations in a planned economy. However, it is assumed that the cybernetic analysis of the economic role of insurance, and the methods of calculation resulting from this analysis, can also be applied to other social and economic situations.

In the judgment of the author, the problem under consideration would be of interest to the members of ASTIN and could possibly be included in the syllabus of one of the subsequent colloquia of ASTIN.
