Summary/Abstract: This study is focused on a highly relevant subject in the economic literature, more precisely how the insurance sector impacts the overall economic growth. The objective of the study is to identify, analyze and evaluate the effects of the insurance sector on economic growth for three countries: Germany, Netherlands and Spain, with data collected for the period 1984 - 2016.
