Multiple issues unreferenced June 2007 orphan February 2009 original research September 2007 Efficient contract theory suggests that in a perfectly competitive market, if a contract exists, then it must be efficient due to the survivorship principle. For example, the Initial Public Offering market in the United States US has an underwriting spread of approximately 7 in the majority of cases despite some offerings being of differing size or difficulty. Some argue that this cannot reflect the true costs to the investment bank, as it does not account for economies of scale that the bank would no doubt benefit from for larger deals. Efficient contract theory would suggest that given the investment banking market is competitive and there is freedom of entry and exit, 7 must be an efficient contract otherwise it would not exist.

Multiple issues orphan August 2008 unreferenced August 2008 notability August 2008 date July 2011 Online insurance refers to the buying and selling of insurance online. Insurance is subject to the principle of utmost good faith , which makes it convenient for people to conduct the business online, as both the parties have absolute duties to disclose all material facts otherwise any contract concluded is void. Conducting a complete insurance transaction can be difficult for most commercial businesses, due to the necessity of underwriting, sales, and a whole network of employees to ensure the contract is up to company standards. For this reason, many types of personal insurance are now sold online, including car insurance, travel insurance, and medical insurance. Citation needed date July 2011 In recent times, many online insurance providers now provide not only an insurance quote online, but perform the remainder of the selling process manually, and takes a large amount of paperwork out of the process. Some international insurance companies still require an actual physical process to take place. An example is purchasing car insurance in Dubai , where it is mandatory to give an Arabic certificate of insurance before registering the car. The certificate should bear a physical stamp of the issuing company, which means that the transaction cannot be completed online. Citation needed date July 2011 Online niche insurance Niche insurance is either sold directly to customers by an insurance carrier , or through a specialist broker. This has the advantages of consolidated marketing to a singular audience, the use of specialized coverage forms, and of a broader underwriting appetite . Online insurance reduces much of the paperwork otherwise required by niche insurers. Special event insurance has been particularly successful for many companies.
