Abstract
There has been a long-term interest in the subject of lapse rates and the basic question of what causes lapses has been under study for many decades by the insurance industry. The interest rate hypothesis has received the most attention and empirical support in recent years. An older hypothesis is that cash values are utilized by policyholders as an emergency fund. This hypothesis deserves attention here because it has not been extensively tested.
