Georges Dionne is a full professor of finance who holds the Canada Research Chair in Risk Management at HEC Montréal.

Georges Dionne has published extensively, including seven books on insurance and risk management and more than 180 articles in academic journals.

One of his main achievements was to propose (with Marcel Boyer) a new model for automobile insurance pricing based on drivers’ demerit points.

More recently, with Pierre Picard and Florence Giuliano, he has developed an internal model for fraud detection for a large European insurer.

With his coauthors Pierre-Carl Michaud and Maki Dahchour, he is among the first researchers to empirically separate moral hazard from adverse selection and drivers’ learning using data on insurance contracts.
