Insurance markets can be influenced by peer behavior, leading to what’s known as an information cascade—a situation where individuals follow the choices of others, even when their private information suggests they should act differently. For example, if you notice that your neighbors are forgoing insurance, you might do the same, even if your own risk level suggests that purchasing coverage would be the smarter move.
Through laboratory experiments, Justin Roush investigates whether these cascades form when risks are correlated or uncorrelated and explores how individuals’ perceptions of their peers’ risk-taking behavior affect their own decisions.
This event is perfect for:
✔️ Students interested in behavioral economics, finance, and decision-making.
✔️ Faculty and researchers studying risk assessment and insurance markets.
✔️ Business professionals looking to understand consumer behavior in insurance and financial markets.
