[摘要]目前,网上保险已成为我国保险业创新发展的一个重要方向。发展网上保险离不开政府的有效监管。由于网络的特点与保险交易过程的特殊性,网上保险对政府监管提出新的挑战。保险监管机构介入保险市场并承担起其应有的职能,其理论基础主要在于如何解决保险市场失灵问题。解决网上保险中存在的问题,单靠保险公司本身是不够的,政府监管机构必须积极发挥其应有的职能,与保险公司形成良性互动,才能更好地促进网上保险在我国的发展。要加强相关信息的披露,构建统一的信息管理平台;建立道德风险防范机制,加强行业诚信建设;加强相关基础设施建设,提供良好的发展环境;深化保险监管改革,顺应网上保险的时代潮流。 [关键词]网上保险;保险营销;保险监管;信息披露;风险防范 [中图分类号] F840.32 [文献标识码] A [文章编号]1004-3306(2006)10-0056-03 Abstract: Today, online insurance has become a new direction of development for China’s insurance industry. The development of online insurance will not be possible without effective government regulation. Due to the uniqueness of the Internet and the transaction process of insurance products, online insurance poses a new challenge to the government regulator. Theoretically speaking, insurance regulator’s participation into the insurance market and playing its due function can prevent the occurrence of market failure. Insurance companies are not able to fully guard against possible problems from online insurance, therefore the governance regulatory agency should act effectively and form a cooperative interaction with insurance companies. Only in so doing, can online insurance develop properly in China. The insurance regulator should promote full disclosure of relevant information, construct a uniform information management platform, set up a moral risk prevention mechanism and strengthen credibility awareness of the insurance sector, strengthen construction of relevant infrastructure to create a favorable development environment and deepen the reform on insurance regulation to go along with the trend of development of the insurance industry.
