Question

Although generous disability insurance can help those who have been permanently injured, it can also increase the likelihood that individuals will falsely claim to be disabled. This likelihood is a(n) _________.A. direct incentive
B. indirect incentive
C. positive incentive
D. innovation
E. marginal cost

Answer 1

Answer:

B, Indirect incentive

Explanation:

An incentive is anything that motivates an individual to behave in a certain way. An incentive could range from money to many other things and it is the reason why an individual acts in a certain way.

For example, salary and bonuses are incentives for workers. This makes the worker work better and harder and more efficiently because he/she knows that there is something to encourage him for doing his/her work diligently.

Incentive can be direct or indirect as in the case of the above question.

In the case of the above question, a generous disability insurance can motivate workers to falsely claim to be disabled. This means that the financial implication of the insurance package for disability is most likely the only reason for workers to claim false disability.
