Abstract

It is shown that uni-dimensional adverse selection may result in market expansion beyond the full-information level. Although bad types tend to drive out good, enough good types may remain to draw in excessive numbers of bad types. As a result, the welfare loss from adverse selection is potentially underestimated. Applications are made to insurance, credit and the used car market.
