摘要：
We provide a comprehensive analysis of the impact of probability weighting on optimal insurance demand in a unified framework. We identify decreasing relative overweighting as a new local condition on the probability weighting function that is useful for comparative static analysis. We discuss the effects of probability weighting on coinsurance, deductible choice, insurance demand for low-probability, high-impact risks versus high-probability, low-impact risks, and insurance demand in the presence of nonperformance risk. Probability weighting can make better or worse predictions than expected utility depending on the insurance demand problem at hand.
