Employment and Adverse Selection in Health Insurance

Jayanta Bhattacharya, Stanford Medical School
William B. Vogt, Carnegie Mellon University

The goal of this project is to explore the determinants of health insurance by offering firms. Bhattacharya and Vogt theorize that the labor market solves the adverse selection problem if jobs are "stickier" than health status.
