Abstract | ||
---|---|---|
The amount of available information, andthe statistical ability to find patterns in it fundamentallyalter risk pooling. This threatens to alter the structure ofthe insurance industry, and potentially to destroy insurability,as we will see. While too much informationdestroys risk pooling and rating, too little information, orone party with far more information than the other,likewise can destroy the structure of the industry. Theregulatory implications, not yet understood, will beprofound. |
