Moral Hazard and Background Risk in Competitive Insurance Markets
We examine the effect of background risk on competitive insurance markets with moral hazard. If policy‐holders have non‐negative prudence, then background risk does not decrease effort and, when effort increases, expands the set of feasible policies. However, the effect of background risk on equilibrium is indeterminate. We analyse the choice between stock and mutual insurance; mutual insurance is equivalent to a fair policy plus background risk.…

Convergence and Divergence of Regional Income Distributions and Welfare

Explaining Interstate Variation in Income Inequality
This paper investigates interstate variation in income inequality. By avoiding inequality indices and focusing directly on the Lorenz curve, the authors provide a more general explanation of the differences in inequality. They find that mean family income, the standard deviation of years of schooling, per capita educational expenditure, and property income are robust predictors of inequality. Of particular interest is their finding that, ceteris …
