| Abstract: | In this paper, we investigate the disparities of China's insurance market from the viewpoint of geography and enterprise by using the monthly data from January 2006 to December 2015. We divide the whole insurance market into two parts, namely property insurance and personal insurance.By constructing and analyzing minimum spanning trees of insurance market, we obtain the results as follows:(i) The connections between provinces are much closer than those of firms, and there are regional links between neighboring provinces in the minimum spanning tree(MST); and(ii) the domestic funded firms and foreign funded firms form two explicit clusters in the MSTs of property and personal insurance market. |
