Azevedo and Gottlieb [2017] (AG) define a notion of equilibrium that always exists in the Rothschild and Stiglitz [1976] (RS) model of competitive insurance markets, provided costs are bounded. However, equilibrium predictions are sensitive to assumptions made about the upper bound of cost:...

We analyze the effect of ambiguous loss probabilities on competitive insurance markets with asymmetric information. We characterize equilibria under actuarially fair pricing with preferences that are second-order ambiguity averse (have smooth indifference curves). We also show existence of...

A large empirical literature found that the correlation between insurance purchase and ex post realization of risk is …-dimensional heterogeneity in their risk types. It is suggested that selection based on multidimensional private information, e.g., risk and risk … based on multidimensional private information in risk and risk preferences, can, under different market structures, result …

The calculation of a fair premium is always a challenging topic in the real world insurance applications. In this paper, a nonlinear premium-reserve (P-R) model is presented and the premium is derived by minimizing a quadratic performance criterion. The reserve is a stochastic equation, which...

insurance markets can be bad when there is adverse selection. Using the dual theory of choice under risk, we are able to fully … characterize both the competitive and the monopoly market outcomes. When there are two types of risk, the monopoly dominates … from the market. Performing simulation for different distributions of risk, we find that monopoly in general performs (much …
