Abstract

On‐demand insurance is an innovative business model from the InsurTech space, which provides coverage for episodic risks. It makes use of a simple fact in a practical way: People differ in their frequency of exposure as well as the probability of loss. The extra dimension of heterogeneity can be used to screen the insured and shifts the utility‐possibility frontier outward. We provide a sufficient condition under which type‐specific full insurance at the actuarially fair price is incentive compatible. We also show that our results hold for various real‐world implementations of on‐demand insurance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
