We study entrepreneurs’ behavioral responses of effort (moral hazard) to avoid business failure.This is done in the context of an unemployment insurance scheme for self-employed, wherewe estimate how much of the transition probability to unemployment can be causally attributedto being insured....

This paper empirically analyzes moral hazard in car insurance using a dynamic theory of an insuree's dynamic risk (ex … ante moral hazard) and claim (ex post moral hazard) choices and Dutch longitudinal micro data. We use the theory to … characterize the heterogeneous dynamic changes in incentives to avoid claims that are generated by the Dutch experience …

We test whether households that face prospective home equity losses during a house price downturn use divorce to shed debt. We study the Dutch context, where qualifying homeowners can buy into a mortgage guarantee scheme that insures the lender against borrower default and transfers the risk to...

We take a dynamic perspective on insurance markets under adverseselection and study a generalized Rothschildand Stiglitz model where agents may differ with respect to theaccidental probability and their expenditure levels incase an accident occurs. We investigate the nature of dynamicinsurance...

In a large class of hazard models with proportional unobserved heterogeneity, the distribution of the heterogeneity among survivors converges to a gamma distribution. This convergence is often rapid. We derive this result as a general result for exponential mixtures and explore its implications...

should be given weak financial incentives. In a multiple-agent setting, this problem can be resolved using promotion … incentives. We test these predictions using German Socio-Economic Panel data. We find that workers who are more reciprocal are … significantly more likely to receive promotion incentives, while there is no such relation for individual bonus pay. …
