The apparent lack of copayment may be deceptive if physicians face significant copayment in the form of uninsurable time and disutility of being sued, or higher premium costs if they are denied coverage by more selective, lower-cost insurers (Danzon, 1985a). 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.
2. Other forms of coverage The first extension to Arrow's original model is due to Arrow (1971) himself and Raviv (1979) who analyzed the case of risk-averse insurers. 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.
