摘要
We study the properties of long-term insurance contracts using an individual-level survey data. Results indicate longer-term contracts are involved with lower lapse rates and healthier pool. These are consistent with the implications of Hendel and Lizzeri model with one-sided commitment. (C) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
