Having thought about this a bit, I think it’s reasonable to say that there is some “adverse” “selection” going on as far as those english words are used, but I think it’s not that similar to adverse selection in the economic sense. There, goods leave the market because sellers don’t want to sell them, here they leave because they do. Is that correct?
I think maybe tonally it feels similar to adverse selection—a sort of “types of markets that you should feel suspicious of”. If you go to a used car lot with no warranties, be suspicious. If you go to an empty restaurant at a busy time, be suspicious.
I’m unsure if it’s helpful for this “market types to be suspicious of” is labelled as “adverse selection” which has a technical meaning, rather than coming up with a new phrase.
