Testing For Adverse Selection In Insurance Markets, Alma Cohen, Peter Siegelman

Peter Siegelman

This paper reviews and evaluates the empirical literature on adverse selection in insurance markets. We focus on empirical work that seeks to test the basic coverage–risk prediction of adverse selection theory—that is, that policyholders who purchase more insurance coverage tend to be riskier. The analysis of this body of work, we argue, indicates that whether such a correlation exists varies across insurance markets and pools of insurance policies. We discuss various reasons why a coverage–risk correlation may not be found in some pools of insurance policies. The presence of a coverage-risk correlation can be explained either by moral hazard or …

The Law Professor As Counterterrorist Tactician, Lawrence Rosenthal

Lawrence Rosenthal

This essay responds to Professor Aziz Huq's provocative article, "The Signaling Function of Religious Speech in Domestic Counterterrorism." Professor Huq contends that current counterterrorist doctrine overemphasizes the use of religious speech as a "signal' for incipient terrorist violence. He argues that the costs of this approach for religious liberty are significant, and its reliability suspect. Professor Huq's assessment of costs, however, overlooks that current doctrine permits only initiation of an investigation on the basis of religous speech, while even Professor Huq's suggested reforms would require consideration of a potential investigative subject's speech if they were operationalized. His proposals might make …

Monitoring Managers Through Corporate Compliance Programs, Charles Angelucci, Martijn Han

Martijn A. Han

Compliance programs entail monitoring of employees' behavior with the claimed objective of fighting corporate crime. (Competition) Authorities promote such intra-firm monitoring. In a three-tier hierarchy model, authority-shareholder-manager, we study the impact of monitoring through a compliance program on contracting within the firm and the authority's optimal sanctions and leniency policy. We find that compliance programs are beneficial in the fight against corporate crime if and only if the managerial sanction is low. Moreover, when the shareholder blows the whistle, the authority optimally grants partial corporate leniency, while not granting individual leniency to the involved employees. Conversely, when the employee blows …

Predicting Whether Multiculturalism Positively Or Negatively Influences White Americans’ Intergroup Attitudes: The Role Of Ethnic Identification., K Morrison, V Plaut, O Ybarra

Victoria Plaut

Multiculturalism, or the belief that racial and ethnic differences should be acknowledged and appreciated, has been met with both positive reactions (e.g., decreased prejudice) and negative reactions (e.g., perceptions of threat) from dominant group members. The present research proposes that multiculturalism can either positively or negatively influence White Americans’ intergroup attitudes depending on their degree of ethnic identification. In Studies 1 and 2, White Americans primed with multiculturalism exhibited higher social dominance orientation (Study 1) and greater prejudice (Study 2), especially when they identified strongly with their ethnicity. In Study 3, perceptions of threat to group values were found to …
