Discuss a real-world example of the “adverse selection problem”

What was the nature of the problem? What factors led to its occurrence? What was the end result? Describe the situation in some detail, and be sure to indicate how it fits in with the definition(s) of either “adverse selection” or “moral hazard” (or possibly even both).

Could the problem have been avoided, or do you think that it’s inherent to the given situation? What steps could be (or were) taken to mitigate the problem? Are those actions likely to be successful?

Explanation / Answer
