Self-revelation

Self-revelation

In economics, self-revelation is a property of a mechanism where each agent maximizes his or her utility (or expected utility) by revealing his or her true type.

Self-revelation is wildly used in insurance market. This is when high risk parties and low risk parties choose to pay a different risk premium.
