We use the data on multiple years of contract choices and claims by customers of a major Portuguese car insurance company to investigate a possibility that agent’s risk is modifiable through costly (unobserved) effort. Using a model of contract choice and endogenous risk production we demonstrate the economic importance of moral hazard, measure the relative importance of agents’ private information on cost of reducing risk and risk aversion, and evaluate the relative effectiveness of…

No News is Good News: Moral Hazard in Oligopolistic Insurance Markets
I conduct inference on moral hazard in the Italian automobile in-surance market. I disentangle moral hazard from adverse selection and state dependence by exploiting the non-linearities in the…
Buying Data from Consumers: The Impact of Monitoring Programs in U.S. Auto Insurance
This paper studies the design and impact of auto-insurance monitoring programs, in which insurers incentivize consumers to have their driving behavior monitored for a short period of time. We acquire…
On the road again: traffic fatalities and auto insurance minimums
Prior research on policy-induced moral hazard effects in the auto insurance market has focused on the impact of compulsory insurance, no-fault liability, and tort liability laws on traffic…
How to Prevent Traffic Accidents: Moral Hazard, Inattention, and Behavioral Data
Risk mitigation is an essential aspect of risk management, but it has largely evaded attention by auto insurers that optimize selective risk-sharing and claim mitigation instead. We use novel sensor…
Asymmetric Information, Reputation, and Welfare in Online Credit Markets
This paper studies the impact of reputation/feedback systems on the operation of online credit markets using data from Prosper.com. The ability of lenders to recover their loans is one of the main…
Identification of Counterfactuals and Payoffs in Dynamic Discrete Choice with an Application to Land Use
Dynamic discrete choice models are non-parametrically not identified without restrictions on payoff functions, yet counterfactuals may be identified even when payoffs are not. We provide necessary…
Time-Varying Risk Aversion? Evidence from Near-Miss Accidents
We present evidence consistent with time-varying risk preferences among automobile drivers. Exploiting a unique dataset of agents’ high-frequency driving behavior collected by a mobile phone…
Identification of Counterfactuals in Dynamic Discrete Choice Models
Dynamic discrete choice (DDC) models are not identified nonparametrically, but the non‐identification of models does not necessarily imply the nonidentification of counterfactuals. We derive novel…
Skimming from the Bottom: Empirical Evidence of Adverse Selection When Poaching Customers
This paper demonstrates implications of adverse selection when conducting competitive customer poaching in markets with heterogeneous and privately known costs to serve.
When Salespeople Manage Customer Relationships: Multidimensional Incentives and Private Information
At many firms, incentivized salespeople with private information about customers are responsible for customer relationship management. Although incentives motivate sales performance, private…

The configuration of equilibrium in the market for automobile collision insurance is examined empirically by representing the premium-deductible menu and the demand function as a standard hedonic…
Adverse selection and moral hazard in insurance: Can dynamic data help to distinguish?
A standard problem of applied contracts theory is to empirically distinguish between adverse selection and moral hazard. We show that dynamic insurance data allow to distinguish moral hazard from…
Moral Hazard and Dynamic Insurance Data
This paper exploits dynamic features of insurance contracts in the empirical analysis of moral hazard. We first show that experience rating implies negative occurrence dependence under moral hazard:…

Estimating Risk Preferences from Deductible Choice
We develop a structural econometric model to estimate risk preferences from data on deductible choices in auto insurance contracts. We account for adverse selection by modeling unobserved…
Testing for Asymmetric Information in Insurance Markets
The first goal of this paper is to provide a simple and general test of the presence of asymmetric information in contractual relationships within a competitive context. We also argue that insurance…
Selection on Moral Hazard in Health Insurance
TLDR
It is shown that, at least in this context, abstracting from selection on moral hazard could lead to over-estimates of the spending reduction associated with introducing a high-deductible health insurance option.
Asymmetric information in health insurance: evidence from the National Medical Expenditure Survey.
TLDR
A structural model of health insurance and health care choices using data on single individuals from the NMES is estimated and it is found that riskier types buy more coverage and, on average, end up using more care.
