Insurance derivatives for buildings to reduce the damage due to large earthquakes
In modern cities,all kinds of buildings are built without proper risk hedge strategies against large disasters such as earthquakes.In addition,accumulation of infrastructures into the cities intensifies the risk values and their network mechanisms are quite complicated.In order to control such risks,new mechanisms should be developed from the view point of both engineering and economics.Recently,Structural Health Monitoring(SHM)systems using sensor networks are proposed in many variations.Fortunately some of the data taken by those systems are good candidates as risk indexes for each building or infrastructure.The purpose of this study is to propose insurance derivatives to maintain and improve the safety of buildings and to provide a risk hedge instrument for each owner and local government.As triggers to the proposed systems,we use sensor networks for the SHM properly.
