Title: Risk misperceptions and selection in insurance markets : an application to demand for cancer insurance / Mary Riddel, David Hales
Author: Riddel, Mary
Notes: Sumario: This article reports the results of a survey of 474 men and women that analyzes willingness to pay for cancer-care insurance, factors that affect the demand for insurance, and variables that influence cancer-prevention activities. In particular, this article seeks to test whether risk misperception leads to selection, controlling for other possible sources of selection such as cognitive ability and risk aversion.
