Mitigating Risk in Auto Insurance
An auto insurance company observes that its clients are involved in more minor accidents after purchasing comprehensive coverage. To address this, the company is considering two strategies: (1) offering a significant premium discount to policyholders who install a device in their car that monitors and rewards safe driving habits, or (2) implementing a mandatory higher deductible for all claims. Evaluate the potential effectiveness of each strategy in encouraging safer driving behavior among insured individuals. In your evaluation, compare and contrast how each strategy addresses the underlying reason for the change in driver behavior.
