The specific issues raised by the corporate demand for insurance: these issues will be considered in Sect. 6 below. 2. The focus on anomalies observed in actual insurance purchasing behavior (Kunreuther and Pauly 2005). 3. The extension of the expected utility model to take into account state-dependent utility functions. One can thus introduce into the analysis important observations from reality. For example, the observation that the indemnity paid by the insurer cannot provide complete compensation for a non monetary loss, such as the loss of a child, or the observation that the marginal utility of wealth is different under good health and under disability: see Arrow (1974), Cook and Graham (1977), and Schlesinger (1984) for important contributions along this line.

An important additional step on this issue was made by Lee (2012) in his analysis of self-protection under background risk. He considers two kinds of self-protection: selfprotection effort and monetary investment in self-protection devices. He obtains that an individual facing a background risk will exert more self-protection effort than the same individual without background risk. 26 Recently also, Courbage and Rey (2012) investigated the impact of background risks on optimal self-protection expenditures in a two-period model.
