According to the authors of a study from Maroochydore,
"Ambiguity is described through a probability measure on an extended state space that includes extra ambiguous states. It is shown that if insurers face the same or less ambiguity than their customers, a unique equilibrium exists where customers are fully insured," wrote S. Anwar and colleagues,
The researchers concluded: "On the other hand, if insurers face more ambiguity than their customers, customers will be under insured and it is even possible that customers may not purchase any insurance."
Anwar and colleagues published their study in Insurance Mathematics & Economics (Competitive insurance market in the presence of ambiguity. Insurance Mathematics & Economics, 2012;50(1):79-84).
