Adverse Selection is a category for books that explore how hidden or unequal information skews who participates in a market and what deals get made, often leading to higher risks, worse averages, or market breakdowns. Titles in this genre range from accessible explanations of the “market for lemons” to rigorous analyses of insurance, healthcare, finance, labor, and online platforms where privately held information matters. These books cover theory and evidence on screening and signaling, contract design, and policy tools that mitigate the problem, alongside real-world case studies and debates. It’s a home for works in information economics that show how better incentives and transparency can make markets work.
