Abstract: Catastrophe insurance market has not been established in China yetHence research on insurance behavior under catastrophic risks has important policy implications to the foundation and development of the nations future catastrophe insurance market. This paper takes earthquake risk as an example, experimentally examines individuals insurance behavior under catastrophic risks, and discusses some experimental theories. The result shows that both informing subjects about the risk probability information and introducing induced information in experiment could decrease the insurance rate. Prior risk experience has a significant positive impact on peoples following insurance rate. This kind of experience does not have to be got by personal, but observing others suffering a loss has the same effect. By extending the traditional experimental theories, the laboratory experiment could be applied to such field where has few research as it is difficult to control variables.
Key words: catastrophic risk , insurance behavior , experimental theory
摘要: 中国尚无巨灾保险市场,研究人们在巨灾风险下的投保行为对巨灾保险市场的建立与发展都具有重要的意义。本文以地震风险为例,运用实验经济学的方法,探讨了个体面对巨灾风险时的投保行为与相关理论问题。研究结果表明,人们的投保决策受其对风险概率认知的影响较小,知道清晰的风险概率甚至会降低投保率;在实验中引入仿真信息,将诱导被试投保;而过往受灾经历影响较大,且这种影响并不一定需要亲身经历才能形成,知晓他人遭受灾难也能唤起人们的投保意识。通过扩展传统的实验理论,实验室实验被应用到了这种因难以控制变量而研究较少的领域,并发现了投保行为的某些特征。
