- Yehuda_Kahane abstract "Yehuda Kahane (born August 4, 1944) is the 2011 recipient of the highly prestigious award in the insurance and risk management (The John S. Bickley Founder's Award - gold medal for excellence) for his pioneering and lasting contribution to both the theory, practice and education in insurance. (to be granted at the International Insurance Society meetings in Toronto, Canada, June 2011).Kahane is active in both the academic and business areas.He is a professor of insurance and finance, Faculty of Management, and Head of the Akirov Institute for Business and the Environment, Tel-Aviv University. He founded and served as the Dean of the first academic school of insurance in Israel (now a part of Netanya Academic College). At Tel Aviv University he directed the Erhard Insurance Center, the Actuarial studies program, and coordinated the Executives Development Programs. He is a life and non-life actuary.Since 1966, Kahane has taught at universities around the Globe, including, among others, the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Texas at Austin, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the University of Florida, and the University of Toronto. He has founded, and directed the Israel CLU Program. He organized and lectured in hundreds of seminars and conferences.Kahane, the author of several books and numerous articles, was ranked among the most prolific researchers in insurance (JRI, June 1990). The recent book, Risk Management for Enterprises and Individuals, 2009 (coauthored with E. Baranoff and P. Brockett, Flat World Knowledge) is becoming the leading textbook in the area (750 pp., hard copy and internet editions).His studies in risk management, and his practical business experience, led him to realize the importance and urgency of the environmental risks issues, therefore, in recent years he is extending his efforts mainly to this direction. In the late 1960s, H. Levy and Kahane were among the pioneers that applied multiple regressions for insurance rate-making. In the early 1970s, he developed the concept of balancing assets and liabilities of financial intermediaries, in works that are still quoted 35 years later. These studies laid the foundations of theories of insurance rate making, solvency, insurance regulation, and to the vast area which is now known as ERM – Enterprise Risk Management. He has major contributions to the theory and practice of loss reserving, agriculture and crop insurance, and the use of data mining in insurance.In 1982, he consulted a project to increase food production in Latin American countries. The pivot to the plan was to develop the (then practically non-existing) agricultural reinsurance plans, that enabled to supply insurance protection for the farmers' crops. The coverage was then used to guaranty the financing that was needed for acquiring better agricultural technologies. This helped to increase the agricultural reinsurance market from about $15 million to $multi billions, and at the same time to drastically increase the agricultural output of the entire continent, to better feed hundreds of millions people.Kahane has also a rich entrepreneurial experience. He is a co-founder, director, and major shareholder in Ituran Location and Control (NASDAQ:ITRN). He was a co-initiator of the concept of “new” balanced pension funds in Israel, and was the co-founder and co-owner of the managing firm of the first fund (Teshura), that became the fourth largest fund in Israel. He is highly involved in the formation and management of start-up companies in a variety of advanced and high-tech areas, specializing in seed money investments. He owns the Weizman Hi-Tech Incubator, and is a co-owner of Capital Point Ltd. (traded on TASE) which owns Ofakim and Katzrin technological incubators. In addition he is involved in many voluntary NGOs activities (e.g., Chairman of the Association of Visually Impaired People in Sharon District, the PIBF - Palestinian International Business Forum, etc.).He started his business career in a large multinational corporation, and in the management of various businesses. In addition he served as a consultant on risk management, insurance and actuarial and financial topics to the government, large organizations, and major companies both in Israel and internationally. Kahane has served on the Israeli Insurance Council and on several government committees on a variety of insurance topics.Kahane earned a bachelor's degree in economics and statistics, 1965, a master's degree in business administration, cum laude, 1967 and a PhD in finance, 1973 all from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He has served as an associate editor of the leading journals on risk and insurance. He has taught courses in technological forecasting (the first teacher of this subject in Israel), finance, insurance, risk management and actuarial topics. His research focus is on the portfolio implications for insurance, rate-making, automobile insurance, natural hazards, pension and life insurance, reserving, and environmental risks.".
