Consider the model of competitive insurance discussed in lectures (Topic 6.7). Peter is a risk averse individual with the utility function u(w) w05. His current wealth is $300 and with probability 1/2 he will incur a loss of D= $240, but with probability 1/2 he will incur no loss. Ann has the same utility u(w) = w0.5 and current wealth $300 as Peter, but a different probability of loss: she will incur a loss of D- $240 with probability 1/4, and no loss with probability 2/4

- Consider the model of competitive insurance discussed in lectures (Topic 6.7). Peter is a risk averse individual with the utility function u(w) = w0.5. His current wealth is $300 and with probability 1/2 he will incur a loss of D = $240, but with probability 1/2 he will incur no loss. Ann has the same utility u(w) = w0.5 and current wealth $300 as Peter, but a different probability of loss: she will incur a loss of D = $240 with probability 0.1, and no loss with probability 0.9. As we showed in lectures, in the separating equilibrium Peter is offered actuarially fair full insurance contract, so his wealth is equal to $180, whether loss happens or not. Ann will be offered an insurance contract with the amount of insurance (approximately) equal to Group of answer choices 0 16 36 66 120 240Explain how risk aversion makes a market for insurance possibleSuppose that left-handed people are more prone to injury than right-handed people. Lefties have an 80 percent chance of suffering an injury leading to a $1,000 loss (in terms of medical expenses and the monetary equivalent of pain and suffering) but righties have only a 20 percent chance of suffering such an injury. The population contains equal numbers of lefties and righties. Individuals all have logarithmic utility-of-wealth functions and initial wealth of $10,000. Assume perfectly competitive insurance market and find (i) the first best and (ii) the second-best contracts.
- Draw a graph with utility on the Y axis and income on the X axis for a risk averse person. Label the following points on the Y axis The expected value of utility while uninsured The expected value of utility with actuarially fair, full insurance The expected value of utility with actuarially far, partial insurancePriyanka has an income of £90,000 and is a von Neumann-Morgenstern expected utility maximiser with von Neumann-Morgenstern utility index u(x) = square root x . There is a 1 % probability that there is flooding damage at her house. The repair of the damage would cost £80,000 which would reduce the income to £10,000. a) Would Priyanka be willing to spend £500 to purchase an insurance policy that would fully insure her against this loss? Explain. Priyanka has an income of £90,000 and is a von Neumann-Morgenstern expected utility maximiser with von Neumann-Morgenstern utility index u(x) = square root x. There is a 1 % probability that there is flooding damage at her house. The repair of the damage would cost £80,000 which would reduce the income to £10,000. a) Would Priyanka be willing to spend £500 to purchase an insurance policy that would fully insure her against this loss? Explain. b) What would be the highest price (premium) that she would be willing to pay for an insurance policy that fully insures her against the flooding damage?

- Indicate whether the statement is true or false, and justify your answer.Risk-averse individuals have a concave value function for prospective gains and a convex value function for prospective losses.If a risk‐neutral individual owns a home worth $200,000 and there is a three percent chance the home will be destroyed by fire in the next year, then we know that:a) He is willing to pay much more than $6,000 for full cover.b) He is willing to pay much less than $6,000 for full cover.c) He is willing to pay at most $6,000 for full cover.d) None of the above are correct.e) All of the above are correct.Gary likes to gamble. Donna offers to bet him $31 on the outcome of a boat race. If Gary’s boat wins, Donna would give him $31. If Gary’s boat does not win, Gary would give her $31. Gary’s utility function is p1x^21+p2x^22, where p1 and p2 are the probabilities of events 1 and 2 and where x1 and x2 are his wealth if events 1 and 2 occur respectively. Gary’s total wealth is currently only $80 and he believes that the probability that he will win the race is 0.3. Which of the following is correct? (please submit the number corresponding to the correct answer). Taking the bet would reduce his expected utility. Taking the bet would leave his expected utility unchanged. Taking the bet would increase his expected utility. There is not enough information to determine whether taking the bet would increase or decrease his expected utility. The information given in the problem is self-contradictory.
