On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
In the 1980s, provincial governments across Canada saw auto insurance premiums balloon and insurance company profits soar. In response, several provinces closed the private auto insurance market, opting to set up a public provincial monopoly that ran with a not-for-profit mandate. Other provinces, like Ontario, instead opted for a model of government oversight and regulation, where private companies were required to apply to a provincial regulator to raise or lower their premiums. We analyse approved applications for premium rate changes in Ontario from 1999 to 2022 to understand the implication of this oversight, and if profits in the Ontario auto insurance industry were indeed controlled.
