I'm not an economist, but I am aware of a pricing concept called the "greater fool theory". The recent "dot com" bust and the meltdown of my former employer (Enron) strongly indicate that the prices of securities, commodities, real estate and even Chrysler 300's can be a function of what some other fool is willing to pay. I think insurance companies are aware of this concept and much prefer to deal in the rather straightforward repair costs and replacement as per Kelly Bluebook or NADA. Insuring volatile and emotion-driven market value is a different risk management business.
