The article looks at homeowners insurance in Florida, reporting that premiums are rising sharply and analyzing the factors that account for the change, which include changes in the reinsurance industry and the end of an unusual decade from 2006 to 2015 when no major hurricanes struck the state. Topics include changes in the level of investment in insurance-related securities such as catastrophe bonds and the withdrawal of most major national insurance companies from writing homeowners policies in Florida.
