題名: | An Empirical Analysis of the Effects of Increasing Deductibles on Moral Hazard | 作者: | Jennifer L.Wang;Chung,Ching-Fan ;Larry Y. Tzeng 王儷玲;鍾經樊;曾郁仁 |

Time-varying correlations between the choice of the insurance coverage and claim occurrence are significantly positive and exhibit a smirk pattern across policy months. This empirical finding supports the existence of asymmetric information. A subsample estimation depicts insured drivers` significant responses to increasing deductibles, which implies the existence of moral hazard. According to the probit regression results, the increasing deductible makes policyholders who have ever filed claims less likely to file additional claims later in the policy year. The empirical findings strongly support the notion that the increasing deductible provision helps control moral hazard. | 關聯: | Journal of Risk and Insurance, 75(3), 551-566 | 資料類型: | article | DOI: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1539-6975.2008.00274.x |
