dc.description.abstract
We present an overlapping generations model that explains price dispersion among
Catalonian healthcare insurance firms. The model shows that firms with different
premium policies can coexist. Furthermore, if interest rates are low, firms that apply
equal premium to all insureds can charge higher average prices than insurers that set
premiums according to the risk of insured.
Economic theory, health insurance, health economics.
