| Tiivistelmä: | The authors analyse the political support for a social insurance that includes elements of redistribution when there exists an imperfect private insurance alternative. Adopting a non-expected utility model, they show that there is a general majority support for social insurance and that this support is increasing with risk aversion. They also show that a mixed insurance is politically impossible, regardless of the degree of redistribution of social insurance and the joint distribution of risk and income in the population. |
