...This finding was similar to that of Malik (2011) and Ahmed et al.

However, the variable size is positively related to ROA and statistically significant at the 5 % level of significance. This reveals that performance of large size insurance companies is better than small size companies. Large insurers are likely to perform better than small insurers because they can achieve operating cost efficiencies through increasing output and economizing on the unit cost of innovations in products and process development (Hardwick, 1997).

The finding of this study is congruent with, Gardner and Grace (1993); Sommer (1996); Cummins and Nini (2002); Chen and Wong (2004); Liebenberg and Sommer (2007); Malik (2011) and Ahmed et al....
