Default and Punishment in General Equilibrium

Dubey, Pradeep K.; Geanakoplos, John; Shubik, Martin - 2004

We extend the standard model of general equilibrium with incomplete markets to allow for default and punishment by … compute how the size of their loan or the price they quote might affect default rates. It also makes for a simple equilibrium … equilibrium always exists in our model, and that default, in conjunction with refinement, opens the door to a theory of endogenous …

Competitive Pooling : Rothschild-Stiglitz Reconsidered

Dubey, Pradeep K.; Geanakoplos, John - 2003

We build a model of competitive pooling, which incorporates adverse selection and signalling into general equilibrium. Pools are characterized by their quantity limits on contributions. Households signal their reliability by choosing which pool to join. In equilibrium, pools with lower quantity...

Transparency aversion and insurance market equilibria

Gemmo, Irina; Browne, Mark Joseph; Gründl, Helmut - 2017

Telemonitoring devices can be used to screen consumers' characteristics and mitigate information asymmetries that lead to adverse selection in insurance markets. However, some consumers value their privacy and dislike sharing private information with insurers. In the second-best efficient...

Adverse Selection in Insurance Markets : On-Demand Contracts As a Screening Device

Braun, Alexander - 2020

We show that on-demand insurance contracts, an innovative form of coverage recently introduced through the InsurTech sector, can serve as a screening device. To this end, we develop a new adverse selection model consistent with Wilson (1977), Miyazaki (1977) and Spence (1978). Consumers have...

Moral Hazard and Advantageous Selection in Private Disability Insurance

Soika, Sebastian - 2017

We analyse asymmetric information in private long-term disability insurance. Using the elimination period as a measure of coverage, we examine the correlation between risk and coverage. Our unique data set includes both group and individual insurance. We are thus able to disentangle moral hazard...

A Review of Recent Theoretical and Empirical Analyses of Asymmetric Information in Road Safety and Automobile Insurance

Dionne, Georges - 2012

Road safety policies and automobile insurance contracts often use incentive mechanisms based on traffic violations and accidents to promote safe driving. Can these mechanisms improve road safety efficiently? Do they reduce asymmetric information between drivers and insurers and regulators? In...
