In the empirical estimation of the model, the technique of three stage least square is employed. The empirical findings suggest that life and non-life insurance are complements. both in the demand and supply sides. A number of variables from the broad c1asses of economic, sociopolitical and regulatory variables were found to be significant in determining insurance supply and demand. Of specific variables different than those found in previous studies, the lack of civil liberty was found to negatively affect non-life insurance demand while a mandatory reinsurance cession requirement negatively affects non-life insurance supply
