摘要

现收现付合同降低了最低购买要求，这可能会增加市场参与度。本文将一种新颖的现收现付合同的引入和价格随机化到加州汽车保险市场，在那里17%的司机没有保险。在3个月的试验中，现收现付合同的使用率增加了10.8个百分点(89%)，覆盖天数增加了4.6天(27%)。需求相对缺乏弹性，现收现付增加了保险覆盖范围，部分原因是放松了流动性要求:大多数司机的购买行为与超过发薪日贷款利率的信贷成本一致，19%的司机因资金不足而拒绝购买。

Pay-As-You-Go Insurance: Experimental Evidence on Consumer Demand and Behavior

Pay-as-you-go contracts reduce minimum purchase requirements, which may increase market participation. This paper randomizes the introduction and price(s) of a novel pay-as-you-go contract to the California auto insurance market, where 17% of drivers are uninsured. The pay-as-you-go contract increases take-up by 10.8 p.p. (89%) and days with coverage by 4.6 days over the 3-month experiment (27%). Demand is relatively inelastic, and pay-as-you-go increases insurance coverage in part by relaxing liquidity requirements: most drivers' purchasing behavior is consistent with a cost of credit in excess of payday lending rates, and 19% of drivers have a purchase rejected for insufficient funds.
