Abstract
Prior research on the demand for life insurance in household portfolio holdings has not made a clear distinction between portfolio shifts resulting from active allocation decisions and those resulting from passive acceptance. Our study examines the relationship between household portfolio allocation decisions and the demand for life insurance in a dynamic setting, using panel data before and after the 2008 financial crisis. The study provides the first evidence that household decisions to invest in cash and cash equivalents, bonds, retirement assets, and pay off debts significantly affect life insurance ownership.
