Abstract: The phenomenon of adverse selection caused by asymmetric information dominates the insurance market. In this paper, based on principal‐agent theory, we establish a two‐period dynamic insurance contract model with a low compensation period. This model introduces the tools of a low compensation period and the increase and decrease in the bonus to identify the risk types of policyholders. We prove that this model can achieve a strict Pareto improvement relative to the two‐period static insurance contract model with a low compensation period. Moreover, we also graphically analyze the conclusion, which can help insurance companies to design more comprehensive insurance contracts.
