讲座主要内容

Unlike insurance transferring risks, mutual risk sharing shares losses among participants. Meaning ‘mutual aid’ in Chinese, Xiang Hu Bao (XHB) was the largest online mutual risk sharing platform operated by Alibaba’s Ant Financial to facilitate risk sharing of critical illness exposures. XHB provided restricted coverage to participants, aged individuals particularly, potentially leading to separating equilibrium, à la Rothschild-Stiglitz, where low-risk individuals join mutual aid programs while high-risk individuals purchase insurance. Using XHB’s enrollment and claim data, our analysis corroborates this argument and justifies the role of Fintech and advantageous selection in explaining cost advantages of mutual risk sharing.
