Insurability conditions and livestock disease insurance.

Abstract: The first section of this chapter discusses insurance as a risk management issue. The insurability conditions for livestock disease insurance are then discussed, namely: losses should be determinable and measurable; losses should be accidental and unintentional; there should be sufficient information to conduct risk classification; there should be sufficient data to establish accurate premium rates; losses should be sufficiently uncorrelated to allow for pooling; and premiums should be economically feasible.

“…The levels of these attributes are presented in Table 1. We briefly discuss these attributes below, based on Heikkilä and Niemi (2008), Civic Consulting (2006), van Asseldonk et al (2005) and Shaik et al (2006). The attribute combinations (and therefore the products offered) are hypothetical.…”

“…The U.S. crop insurance program relies heavily on subsidization and reinsurance offered through the federal government (Glauber, 2004). The BRI style contract essentially provides coverage for the individual or idiosyncratic component of yield risk which may be more insurable through private channels since insurers can more effectively receive diversification from pooling losses (Rejda, 2001; Shaik et al, 2006). The procedures and methods used in this analysis could also be extended to design and rate BRI style contracts based on revenue measures, farm or county‐level revenue insurance products, or for insurance and derivative contracts outside of agriculture.…”

“…In fact, Gramig et al (2008) note that a deductible (or other similar mechanism) is essential in order to avoid the problem of moral hazard and to provide the producer sufficient incentives to maintain a good level of biosecurity. However, as Shaik et al (2006) note, a large deductible can reduce moral hazard, but at the same time it weakens the incentives for early notification of the diseases.…”
