Alternative Crop Insurance Indexes

Abstract: Three index-based crop insurance contracts are evaluated for representative south Georgia corn farms. The insurance contracts considered are based on indexes of historical county yields, yields predicted from a cooling degree-day production model, and yields predicted from a crop-simulation model. For some of the representative farms, the predicted yield index contracts provide yield risk pro… Show more

“…To measure the direct benefit of index insurance both versus no insurance and versus farm-insurance, we simply specify a-priori the same utility function for all fields, and evaluate our measures based on the yields with or without insurance. Following previous literature (Wang et al, 1998;Deng et al, 2008;Flatnes et al, 2018) we use a constant relative risk aversion (CRRA) iso-elastic utility function, with a parameter of 1.5. Fair premiums and indemnities are computed ex-post from the data.…”

“…Figura 2. Evolución de la literatura en seguros indexados La mayor parte de las investigaciones sobre seguros indexados se han centrado en el análisis de las características del seguro indexado y en la problemática del riesgo base desde la perspectiva de la oferta (Breustedt et al, 2008;Deng et al, 2008;Deng et al, 2007;Barnett et al, 2005;Vedenov y Barnett, 2004;Skees et al, 1997, entre otros). Aunque en los últimos años se han incorporado estudios que consideran su demanda y analizan las preferencias del agricultor (Patt et al, 2009).…”

“…Las primeras experiencias con seguros indexados se iniciaron en la década del 90 con el desarrollo de seguros de rendimientos por zona en EE.UU y Canadá (Miranda, 1991;Deng et al 2008). Sin embargo, cuatro décadas atrás, Halcrow (1946) (Stoppa y Hess, 2003;Banco Mundial, 2005;Gine, 2007) El desarrollo de la teledetección, ha permitido en la última década el diseño de seguros que detectan sequía mediante índices derivados de imágenes satélites.…”
