We provide an experimental analysis of competitive insurance markets with adverse selection. Our parameterized version … of the lemons' model (Akerlof 1970) in the insurance context predicts total crowding out of low-risks when insurers offer … a single full insurance contract. The therapy proposed by Rothschild and Stiglitz (1976) to solve this major …

We consider a model of competitive insurance markets involving both asymmetric information and ambiguity about the … accident probability. We show that there can exist a full-insurance pooling equilibrium. We also present an example where an … constraint and allows low risks to buy more insurance. Higher ambiguity also deteriorates the low risks' expected utility from …

Rothschild and Stiglitz (1976) show that there need not exist a competitive equilibrium in markets with adverse selection. Building on their framework we demonstrate that externalities between agents - an agent's utility upon accepting a contract depends on the average type attracted by the...
