A lecture by Professor Raghavendra Rau, Gresham Mercers’ School Memorial Professor of Business.
Imagine buying insurance, but the company knows you're less likely to get sick than you do. That's information asymmetry in action! This lecture explores hidden traps in insurance and loan markets caused by one side knowing more than the other. These sneaky problems can lead to unfair deals and even major financial meltdowns. We'll examine how rules try to fix these issues, and the surprising ways they can sometimes backfire.
Gresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters. There are currently over 2,500 lectures free to access. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to learn from some of the greatest minds.
