Abstract

Insurance technology is the concentrated manifestation of the digital economy in the insurance industry. Based on the panel data of 51 life insurance companies from 2016 to 2021 and the Digital Inclusive Finance Index of Peking University, this paper uses the DEA-Tobit model to analyze the relationship between the operating efficiency of the life insurance industry in China and the development level of insurance technology since the implementation of the Solvency II regulations. The study finds that the application of insurance technology is not yet mature at the current stage, and there is a significant negative correlation between the development level of insurance technology and the operating efficiency of life insurance companies. The overall operating efficiency of the life insurance industry in China is showing an upward and improving trend, but the resource allocation efficiency needs to be strengthened. To promote the high-quality development of the life insurance industry, it is necessary to continuously increase investment in insurance technology, strengthen exchanges and cooperation among industries, and create a healthy environment for the development of the life insurance industry under the guidance of the Solvency II Phase II regulations.
