- Give an example, real or imaginary, of a moral hazard problem. Again, your example must clearly point out: what information is private/asymmetric (is it an attribute or an action?) which party has the private information when does the information asymmetry arise (before or after the contract/transaction?) what is the likely outcome and in which way it can be inefficientarrow_forwardIf the demand curve is steeper for particular health services the moral hazard is less ? True or false Explain briefly.arrow_forwardCyclists travel faster on their bicycles when wearing helmets. Is this an example of adverse selection or moral hazard?arrow_forward
- Consider the problems of adverse selection and moral hazard arising from asymmetric information: a. Consider government-provided health insurance, such as OHIP in Ontario, and government-mandated health insurance, such as Obamacare in the United States. Which problem are such programs intended to combat: adverse selection or moral hazard? Very briefly characterize the tradeoff between adverse selection and moral hazard as it relates to health insurance public policy.arrow_forwardWhat is Moral Hazard, and how does moral hazard affect the likelihood a population demands medical care and the total demand for medical care?arrow_forwardWhat are some strategies for reducing adverse selection in insurance markets?

- How can deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance reduce moral hazard?arrow_forwardThe lecture mentions that diminishing marginal utility applies to the consumption of money as well as the consumption of certain food. Can you give another example where diminishing marginal utility applies? Can you think of any example where diminishing marginal utility does not apply? From utility theory, the demand for insurance depends on the level of risk aversion (i.e. how much you hate uncertainty), the cost of insurance (i.e. if it is within your willingness to pay), as well as wealth. Can you think of anything else that affects demand for insurance? One of the predictions of prospect theory is that we tend to be overly concerned with relatively small risk. Can you think of any example (besides those given in the lecture) that either speaks to this or is an exception?arrow_forward
