Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Asymmetric information problems in Taiwan's automobile insurance market : the effect of policy design on loss charasteristics

Notas: This artice investigates asymmetric information problems for the automobile insurance market in Taiwan . Using panel data for the comprehensive automobile insurance coverage from 1955 to 1999, this article analyzes how types of coverage , deductible amounts , and experience ratings have affected the adverse selection and moral hazard problems in Taiwan's automobile insurance market. The empirical results provide partial evidence to demostrate that the loss frequency and loss ratio were reduced by the addition of self- selection mechanisms in policies with diffrent levels of coverage. In addition, the deductible amounts, experience ratings, and better control of underwriting and claims processing were shown possibly to have decreased potential losses from adverse selection and moral hazard problemsRegistros relacionados: En: Risk management and insurance review. - New York : The American Risk and Insurance Association. - Vol. 7, nº 1 Spring 2004 ; p. 53-71Materia / lugar / evento: Seguro de automóviles Empresas de seguros Coberturas Taiwan Títulos secundarios: Título: Risk management and insurance review
