The paper further describes the effects of adverse selection in insurance as an example of the effect of information asymmetry on markets, [2] a sort of "generalized Gresham's law". [ 2 ] The spiralling effect of how adverse selection worsens the quality of goods in the market
Examples of this problem are adverse selection, [1] moral hazard, [2] and monopolies of knowledge. [3] A common way to visualise information asymmetry is with a scale, with one side being the seller and the other the buyer.
Information asymmetry within the market relates to the seller having more information about the quality of the car as opposed to the buyer, creating adverse selection. [1] Adverse selection is a phenomenon where sellers are not willing to sell high quality goods at the lower prices buyers are willing to pay, with the result that buyers get ...

Applying this framework to the market for credit, asymmetric information concerning the types of projects to be financed might lead to bad projects driving ...
