2) Suppose you own a car worth $20,000. You have accident insurance, but your policy does not cover insurance against theft. The insurance company quotes a price of an additional $100 a year to fully insure your car against theft. a) Suppose you are a risk-neutral expected payoff maximiser who has a good estimate of the probability (p e [0,1]) that your car might be stolen next year. At what probability p would you be indifferent between insuring and not insuring your car against theft for a premium of $100 a year? b) How would your answer to part a) change if your preferences were characterised by Prospect Theory rather than Expected Utility Theory? ---
