Comparing Risk Mitigation Strategies
Both lenders who issue loans and insurers who sell policies face the risk that their clients might behave more carelessly after the agreement is made, since the financial burden of a negative outcome (like a default or a claim) falls largely on the lender or insurer. Compare and contrast the primary strategies used in credit markets with those used in insurance markets to discourage this post-agreement increase in risky behavior. For each market, provide and explain one specific example of a strategy.

Analyzing Post-Agreement Behavior
A small business owner secures a loan to purchase new, efficient machinery but instead uses the funds to invest in a highly speculative, unrelated project. In a separate scenario, a driver who purchases a premium auto insurance policy with a low deductible begins to drive more aggressively and parks in less secure locations. What core economic issue is common to both situations?
Comparing Risk Mitigation Strategies
In economic agreements where one party's subsequent actions are hidden, a conflict of interest can emerge. Match the corresponding roles, actions, and outcomes from a credit (lending) context to their parallels in an insurance context.

Critique of Moral Hazard Equivalence
While the problem of an agent changing their behavior after an agreement is common to both credit and insurance markets, a key distinction exists in the agent's motivation. Which statement best characterizes this distinction?
The problem of an agent altering their behavior after an agreement is established is fundamentally the same in both lending and insurance contexts, as in both cases the agent is incentivized to take on greater risk because they are shielded from the full financial consequences of a negative outcome.
