Abstract

Rothschild-Stiglitz [1976] elsősorban a semleges (újraelosztás nélküli) biztosítást vizsgálta aszimmetrikus információ esetén. Alapmodelljében a biztosító nem ismeri fel, hogy a biztosított kicsi vagy nagy kockázatú, ezért a kis kockázatú egyéneknek olyan nagy önrészesedést kell vállalniuk, amely a nagy kockázatúakat visszatartja attól, hogy kis kockázatúaknak tüntessék fel magukat (második legjobb megoldás). A szerzőpáros egy modellváltozatban az optimális kereszttámogatást is vizsgálja, ami azonban eléggé elsikkad az irodalomban. Tanulmányom kiterjeszti az elemzést a kötelező és újraelosztó biztosítás esetére, és igazolja, hogy itt mindkét típusnak érdemes teljes biztosítást kötnie, de mindenkinek az átlagos kockázatot kell fizetnie. Nagy kockázatkerülés vagy nagy kár, vagy viszonylag kevés nagy kockázatú egyén esetén az újraelosztás nemcsak a nagy kockázatú típus, de a kis kockázatú típus hasznosságát is növeli: a második legjobb újraelosztás Pareto-dominálja a semleges megoldást.
