The Journal of Risk Management and Insurance
Vol. 28 No. 1 (2024)In this issue we have published an article focusing on currently very much debated topic: To what extent is cyber risk (and cyber insurance) correlated with financial markets? We feel privileged that this article appeared in our journal, and we are looking forward to many citations it will attract.
Although in the end we have published only one research article, we have received a number of submission over the past year. Unfortunately, three submissions, despite being accepted, were withdrawn by the authors. Many other submissions did not make it through the peer review process. In our journal, we review and publish articles without trying to meet some publication target. Readers can be then sure that what we publish was rigorously scrutinised.
However, this would have not be possible without the join effort by our reviewers and editors, who make this contribution free of charge for the benefit of our academic community. We would like to appeal to all prospective authors not to waste their time by submitting articles simultaneously to multiple journals.

The Journal of Risk Management and Insurance
Vol. 27 No. 1 (2023)In this issue, we have published two research papers. The first paper models impacts of reinsurance treaties, which is then illustrated on both real and simulated data. The second paper studies financial returns through investment in loss prevention technologies. It was found that although loss prevention technologies significantly reduce the cost of damage, this reduction is too small to finance the investment.
We have also published a literature review that provides useful insights on consumer behaviour, and something very different: an insurance law study from India. From modelling to insurance law, everyone can find something interesting to read in this issue.
We would like to thank all the authors, reviewers and editors for their contribution and services to our academic community.

The Journal of Risk Management and Insurance
Vol. 26 No. 2 (2022)In this issue we have published a paper that studies how carbon footprint affects performance of insurance firms in sub-Saharan African countries. The authors there find that carbon footprint negatively impacts of performance of insurance companies, which is quite interesting. Many other articles are currently under review, it is a shame that neither made it to this December issue. We hope to include them in the next issue, so stay tuned.
In the last year, we have also greatly expanded our editorial board in actuary and finance fields. We are honoured that Asst. Professor Dr. Mario Marino, Asst. Professor Dr. Antonio Luciano Martire and Asst. Professor Dr. Asmerilda Hitaj, all from universities in Italy, have joined us. Welcome! -
The Journal of Risk Management and Insurance
Vol. 26 No. 1 (2022)In this issue we have published three excellent research papers. The first paper presents a realistic model of consumption behaviour, and their model could explain continued wealth accumulation or mild decumulation of the retired elderly that is observed in the real world. The other two research papers both concern current pressing issues: One evaluates the chance of collapse of Ghanian non-life insurance sector, and the other the current state of cyber insurance market. Finally, the issue closes with a literature review on micro insurance in Nigeria.

Vol. 25 No. 2 (2021)In this issue, we have published one research article and one literature review. The research paper examines how insurance companies' asset management affects their operating performance, giving a meaningful practical recommendation. The literature review focuses on how the Covid pandemic influenced the insurance market, opening new research questions for future research papers. About the journal matters, we proudly announce that our editorial board has been expanded by Professor Dr. Piotr Tworek from the University of Economics in Katowice, Poland. We are looking forward to new submissions in 2022!

Vol. 24 No. 2 (2020)The Journal of Risk Management and Insurance is a peer-reviewed journal that in the recent past published on average five articles twice a year. This year we have decided to increase quality of the published papers, so the quantity has gone down. We are proud to announce that to an excellent, Issue 1, publication on gender inequality in motor-vehicle insurance we can add a novel, Issue 2, publication on modelling insurance attrition. Looking into the future, we will be hosting actuarial publishing track of the 25th annual meeting in mathematics that takes place on May 27-29, 2021, at King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, Thailand. We also would like to announce that we are now accepting students' work from our home institution, Assumption University of Thailand. Submissions from our faculty members are still deemed unethical and they will be rejected without review.

The Journal of Risk Management and Insurance
Vol. 24 No. 1 (2020)The Journal of Risk Management and Insurance is a peer-reviewed journal that in the recent past published on average five articles twice a year. Unfortunately, many recent submissions have been found unsuitable for publication, and although we have some promising papers in the pipeline, only one paper made it for this June 2020 issue. The journal also went through some changes; we have implemented plagiarism checks, made sure that authors can track progress of their papers through the submission system and updated information provided on our website. We hope that these changes will attract more quality papers, but we promptly and transparently inform authors that do not meet our criteria. For readers, we offer small but thematically focused issues.
