We consider the Rothschild-Stiglitz model of insurance but without the exclusivity constraint. It turns out that there … always exists a unique equilibrium, in which the reliable and unreliable consumers take out a primary insurance up to its … quantity limit, and the unreliable take out further secondary insurance at a higher premium. We provide a simple proof of this …

Do new migration opportunities for rural households change the nature and extent of informal risk sharing? We experimentally document that randomly offering poor rural households subsidies to migrate leads to a 40% improvement in risk sharing in their villages. We explain this finding using a...

We define a notion of correlated equilibrium for games with incomplete information in a general setting with finite players, finite actions, and finite states, which we call Bayes correlated equilibrium. The set of Bayes correlated equilibria of a fixed incomplete information game equals the set...
