Are Current Crop and Revenue Insurance Products Meeting the Needs of Texas Cotton Producers
An empirical procedure was developed to analyze the cost effectiveness of alternative crop insurance products in terms of increasing producer net returns and minimizing variation in net returns. Results indicate that CAT was the overwhelmingly preferred MPCI option for all scenarios. The ranking of the other MPCI options was consistently 50/100, 60/100, and 75/100 in all scenarios. The CRC opti...
متن کاملSpatio-temporal Modeling of Agricultural Yield Data with an Application to Pricing Crop Insurance Contracts.
This article presents a statistical model of agricultural yield data based on a set of hierarchical Bayesian models that allows joint modeling of temporal and spatial autocorrelation. This method captures a comprehensive range of the various uncertainties involved in predicting crop insurance premium rates as opposed to the more traditional ad hoc, two-stage methods that are typically based on ...
متن کاملBayesian Model Averaging, Mixture Models, and Rating Crop Insurance Contracts
The Agricultural Act of 2014 solidified insurance as the cornerstone of U.S. agricultural policy.

In 2014, total government liabilities associated with the crop insurance program exceeded $108.5 billion. In light of...
متن کاملDryland soil chemical properties and crop yields affected by long-term tillage and cropping sequence
Information on the effect of long-term management on soil nutrients and chemical properties is scanty. We examined the 30-year effect of tillage frequency and cropping sequence combination on dryland soil Olsen-P, K, Ca, Mg, Na, SO4-S, and Zn concentrations, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and cation exchange capacity (CEC) at the 0-120 cm depth and annualized crop yield in the northern Great...
متن کاملNormality of Indian Crop Yields: Application of Panel Analysis
This paper has two-fold contribution. First, normality of the crop yield residuals are examined using panel statistical procedures accounting for trend, autocorrelation and heteroskedasticity. Second, to evaluate the importance of accounting for spatial and temporal variation on the normality of crop yield residuals, the changes in the skewness, kurtosis and D’Agostino-Pearson 2 (K ) omnibus no...
