Title Compulsory automobile insurance law and car accidents in Russia
Summary The paper aims to discern the effect of mandatory auto insurance law on the number of car accidents in Russia. Panel estimation using data on several of the Russian regions over a period of six years – two years prior implementation of the law and four years after the implementation – shows that compulsory auto insurance significantly decreased the number of car accidents in the regions. While subject to some caveats, the conclusion is that the welfare implications of the mandatory auto insurance law have been positive.
