“…Cohen and Siegelman (2010) claim that the findings in the literature corroborate the existence of a positive relationship between income and demand for insurance. However, this result was not corroborated for auto insurance in Brazil by Peres, Maldonado and Candido (2019). Evidence is unclear with regard to marital status and schooling (Outreville, 2014).…”

Esses tipos de conduta costumam elevar os preços dos produtos e serviços e, por consequência, reduzem o bem-estar coletivo (Peres, Maldonado, & Candido, 2019;Rodriguez, 2007). A literatura clássica de OI propõe a utilização de índices de concentração para avaliar a competitividade e a concentração de mercado.…”

“…Também é feito um exercício econométrico, visando a entender quais características individuais são relevantes para a compra de um seguro auto. As evidências empíricas sobre o papel da aversão ao risco (Jaspersen et al, 2019), da renda (Cohen & Siegelman, 2010;Peres, Maldonado, & Candido, 2019), estado civil e educação (Outreville, 2014) e idade (Zietz, 2003) são difusas, e por esse motivo serão aqui analisadas.…”
