Providing Regulators With Technical Expertise, Tools, and Information to Effectively Regulate Their Markets
The Catastrophe Modeling Center of Excellence (COE) is within the Center for Insurance Policy and Research (CIPR), maintaining a neutral perspective to build insights from data in a non-partisan manner. The COE provides regulators with technical training and expertise regarding catastrophe models and information regarding their use within the insurance industry.
