In fact, the client´s objective exposure apriori be cannot quantified from the point of wiew of exact sciencis and his decision is futher influenced by psychological and sociological faktors. The insurer is better equipped to make calculations, drawing on past experience and using the laws of statistics, furtermore, he takes antiselection on account. The final part of the paper explores the field of insurance market regulation in relation to the asymmetry of information between an insurance company and its client.
