Q

adverse selection

A

Occurs when those with higher risks may purchase insurance in greater amounts than those with lower risks. Much of insurance law and practice is designed to control adverse selection. Insurers protect themselves from adverse selection by attempting to measure risk and either charging more for the higher risks or refusing to cover them at all.
