Beziehung: Reproduktion von, Gine, Xavier, Patterns of Rainfall Insurance Participation In Rural India, 2007, Abstract: This paper describes the contract design and institutional features of an innovative rainfall insurance policy offered to smallholder farmers in rural India, and presents preliminary evidence on the determinants of insurance participation. Insurance takeup is found to be decreasing in basis risk between insurance payouts and income fluctuations, increasing in household wealth and decreasing in the extent to which credit constraints bind. These results match with predictions of a simple neoclassical model appended with borrowing constraints. Other patterns are less consistent with the "benchmark" model; namely, participation in village networks and measures of familiarity with the insurance vendor are strongly correlated with insurance takeup decisions, and risk-averse households are found to be less, not more, likely to purchase insurance. We suggest that these results reflect household uncertainty about the product itself, given their limited experience with it LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Accounting LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Banks and Banking Reform LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Debt Markets LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Federal Reserve Bank Of New York LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Finance and Financial Sector Development LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Fixed Costs LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Insurance LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Insurance and Risk Mitigation LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Labor Policies LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Liquid Assets LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Local Financial Institutions LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Microfinance LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Moral Hazard LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Poverty Reduction LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Rural Development LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Rural Poverty Reduction LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Savings LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Social Protections and Labor LoC-Schlagwort: ¬a Technical Assistance Sprache: eng Medium: Online |
