In the early 1990’s, New Jersey and Pennsylvania both reformed their automobile insurance systems so that citizens could opt for either a less-expensive policy that did not allow people to sue if they got into accidents or a more-expensive policy that did allow people to sue if they got into accidents.

Given those options, which policy do you think most people in New Jersey ended up with? What about in Pennsylvania? Explain.
