We study an economy where intermediaries compete over contracts in a nonexclusive insur-ance market affected by moral hazard. In this context, we show that, contrarily to what iscommonly believed, market equilibria may fail to be efficient even if the planner is notallowed to enforce exclusivity of trades (third best inefficiency). Our setting is the same asthat of Bisin and Guaitoli [Bisin, A., Guaitoli, D., 2004. Moral hazard with nonexclusive con-tracts. Rand Journal of Economics 2, 306-328]. We hence argue that some of the equilibriumconditions they imposed are not necessary, and we exhibit a set of equilibrium allocationswhich fail to satisfy them.
