Preferred term

moral hazard  

Definition

  • Moral hazard arises in implicit and contractual relationships in which one party behaves differently because of the relationship, and these actions improve one party's utility but have a negative consequence for the other party. In healthcare, moral hazard is most commonly associated with insurance, where the purchase of health insurance induces an increase in the likelihood of a loss covered by the insurance policy, the size of the loss, or both the likelihood and size of the loss.
