34 p, 226.8 KB La Crema : a case study of mutual fire insurance / Cabrales, Antonio 1964- (Universitat Pompeu Fabra) ; Calvó-Armengol, Antoni (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) ; Jackson, Matthew O. (California Institute of Technology (Estats Units d'Amèrica))
We analyze a mutual fire insurance mechanism used in Andorra, which is called La Crema in the local language. This mechanism relies on households' announced property values to determine how much a household is reimbursed in the case of a fire and how payments are apportioned among other households. [...]
honestly report the true value of their property. However, such honest reporting is not an equilibrium except in the extreme case in which the property values are identical for all households. Nevertheless, as the size of the society becomes large, the benefits from deviating from truthful reporting vanish, and all the nondegenerate equilibria of the mechanism are nearly truthful and approximately Pareto efficient.

34 p, 1.2 MB Minimum coverage regulation in insurance markets / McFadden, Daniel (University of California. Department of Economics) ; Noton, Carlos (Universidad de Chile. Departmento de Ingeniería Industrial) ; Olivella, Pau (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament d'Economia i d'Història Econòmica)
We study the consequences of imposing a minimum coverage in an insurance market where enrollment is mandatory and agents have private information on their true risk type. If the regulation is not too stringent, the equilibrium is separating in which a single insurer monopolizes the high risks while the rest attract the low risks, all at positive profits. [...]

The main aim of this paper is to give a systematization on the stochastic cash flows evolution. The tools that are used for this purpose are discrete time semi-Markov reward processes. The paper is directed not only to semi-Markov researchers but also to a wider public, presenting a full treatment of these tools both in homogeneous and non-homogeneous environment. [...]
