Abstract

This study investigates the expected benefits for Spanish households if they choose to purchase a refundable insurance policy that covers the deductible in the event of vehicle accidents. Using data obtained from the Spanish Survey of Household Finances alongside market data, this paper provides valuable empirical insights concerning the impact of refundable insurance policies on the overall expected utility of households (referred to as Household Refundable Utility) both from a technical-actuarial and a microeconomic point of view.
