Download or read book Economics of Agricultural Crop Insurance Theory and Evidence written by Darrell L. Hueth and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Government subsidized crop insurance has been used by a number of developed countries as a mechanism to reduce farm income instability by reducing yield risks. This book provides an in-depth analysis and evaluation of government provided crop insurance in developed countries. The book is organized into three sections: Part one presents background material on crop insurance programs in the U.S., Canada and selected other countries. Part two provides some analytical models of multiple peril crop insurance which suggest the possibility of modification of design which could improve performance and which explores theoretical linkages between crop insurance decisions and other producer decisions previously not analyzed. The main part of the book is Part three, where the results of a series of empirical studies using databases particularly designed to answer crop insurance questions are presented. This part of the book tests a number of the hypotheses which were raised in Parts one and two regarding reasons for the view widely held by economists that crop insurance has not functioned well.

Download or read book Crop Insurance Inaccurate FCIC Price Forecasts Increase Program Costs written by and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study focuses on evaluating (1) the accuracy of the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation's (FCIC's) independent price forecasts, (2) the effect that inaccuracies in these forecasts can have on program costs, and (3) how FCIC can improve its forecast accuracy. We found that FCIC's corn, wheat, and soybeans price forecasts exhibit large bias errors that exceed those of other available alternative forecasts and that FCIC would have spent about $194 million less than it did if it had used the forecasts made by the World Agricultural Outlook Board (WAOB) over crop years 1983 to 1989. We identified other forecasting and program cost issues that we believe affect the actuarial soundness of the program. These include (1) forecasts being made earlier in the crop year than necessary, thus leading to potentially larger errors; (2) the lack of an effective management process to evaluate forecast accuracy and methods; (3) the failure to adjust national program price selection options when information on local price variations can be used; and (4) the failure to deduct harvest costs when total crop losses occur. FCIC is a wholly government-owned corporation offering limited protection for participating farmers against unavoidable losses caused by natural risks, such as drought, flood, insect infestation, and other natural disasters. All farmers are eligible to participate if an insurance program exists for their crop in their county.
