To the extent copayment and experience rating exist, it is usually based on additional information to distinguish Type 2 errors from valid claims, rather than automatic copayment for all paid claims, consistent with the hypothesis that the risk of judicial error contributes to the lack of demand for experience-rated policies.

Equivalently, let us use first-order Taylor expansions of ui(W1 - 0 - P) around Ul(W1 - D - P) for all 0 < D. This procedure generates the following approximation: E[ui(W1 - 0 = ui(W1 - + /(0) - P)] faD D - P) + Ul(W1 - D - P) (D - O)dF(O) Equation 15 may then be rewritten as kt1 = (1 + k) D (16) fo (D - O)dF(O), where t1 = -ui(W1 - D - P)/U'l(W1 - D - P) is the risk tolerance coefficient measured at the minimum wealth level. To get a simplified guiding rule to determine the optimal deductible, observe that DF(O) ~ faD (D - O)dF(O) ~ D(F(D) - F(O)) ~ D, It results that equation 16 yields: kt1 1+ k ~ D ~ kt1 F(0)(1 + k) (17) ECONOMIC THEORY OF RISK EXCHANGES: A REVIEW 17 The lower bound has been found by Dreze (1981) to infer risk aversion from the choice of deductibles in insurance contracts.

Raviv solved program 9 for C(I) = Co + kI and uzO ~ O. He proved that a policy involving coinsurance of losses above a deductible is ex ante Pareto efficient. This is a combination of the deductible result - to limit deadweight transaction cost - and the efficient sharing of risks between two risk-averse persons as presented in section 1.
