Abstract:In the classic Rothschild-Stiglitz model of adverse selection in a competitive environment, we analyse a ldquono-claims bonusrdquo type contract (bonus-malus). We show that, under full insurance coverage, if the insurance company applies Bayes's rule to learn about client probability types over time and uses this information in premium calculations for contract renewals, then there exist conditions under which all client types strictly prefer the Bayesian updating contract to the classic Rothschild-Stiglitz separating equilibrium.
