Implications of within county yield heterogeneity for modeling crop insurance premiums

Cooper, Joseph; Zulauf, Carl; Langemeier, Michael; … - In: Agricultural Finance Review 72 (2012) 1, pp. 134-155

Purpose – Farm level data are essential to accurate setting of crop insurance premium rates, but their time series tends to be too short to allow them to be the sole data source. County level data are available in longer time series, however. The purpose of this paper is to present a...
