Willingness to pay, surplus and Insurance policy under dual theory
In this paper, we aims to state some proprieties of willingness to pay (WTP) for partial risk reduction and links with insurance within the dual theory of decision. In the case of partial reduction, we get as Langlais (2005) that a risk-averse decision maker (DM) can have a willingness to pay small than this of a neutral one. By decomposition the WTP as Courbage and al (2008), we get that a strong averse DM is willing to give more for a reduction of a high probability portion rather than a low probability one. The main result is that in the dual theory, reducing probability of risk and supply insurance can be complementary if the surplus is increasing in risk reduction.
