Example, insurance companies will not sell fire insurance policy to a person other than the owner of the building is insured. Insurable interest in this example is the ownership of an eye something that is insured. Similarly, family relationships, a reasonable financial linkages, is also a form of insurable interest. The definition of anti-selection (counter selection) refers to the presence of a greater tendency to take insurance because it has a level of risk above average. Example, people who have a record of poor health or risk of dangerous jobs tend to buy insurance. To reduce anti-selection effect, the insurer must be able to identify and classify the potential risk or loss.
