The demand for insurance against loss from a particular risky asset is likely to depend on other risks the decision maker faces. For independently distributed other risks, referred to as background risk, Eeckhoudt and Kimball [1992] determine the effect on insurance demand of introducing background risk.

Physicians typically carry virtually complete malpractice insurance coverage. This contradicts standard theoretical predictions that under a negligence rule of liability there should be no demand for insurance, and insurance policies under moral hazard will contain co-payment provisions. It is argued that judicial 'errors' in defining negligence generate a demand for liability and legal defense...

We study the optimal insurance demand of a riskand ambiguity-averse consumer if contract nonperformance risk is perceived as ambiguous. We find that the consumer’s optimal insurance demand is lower compared to a situation without ambiguity and that his degree of ambiguity aversion is negatively associated with the optimal level of coverage. We also determine sufficient conditions for biased bel...
