Equilibrium in the insurance market with adverse selection and fraud • Authors • S. Hun Seog and Chang Mo Kang • Discussant • Larry Y .Tzeng
Contributions of the Paper (1/2) • (1) Consider a two-dimension adverse selection problem (risk type and honest type) based on Picard (1996) and Rothschild and Stiglitz (1976). • (2)Pooling in honest type and separating in risk type. • (3) The commitment can improve the social welfare.
Contributions of the Paper (2/2) • The insurance market may fail because high risk type policyholders are audited more frequently than low risk type policyholders, and leave the insurance market.
Suggestions • (1) I would suggest that the authors also analyze the problem under Wilson (1977) conjecture. • (2) I would suggest that the authors elaborate more on whether the fine is paid to the insurer.
Suggestions • (3) I would suggest that the authors discuss the possible results if the risk type and honest type are correlated.
