Estimating spatial basis risk in rainfall index insurance: Methodology and application to excess rainfall insurance in Uruguay
This paper develops a novel methodology to estimate the degree of spatial basis risk for an arbitrary rainfall index insurance instrument. It relies on a widelyused stochastic rainfall generator, extendedto accommodate nontraditional dependence patterns—in particular spatial upper-tail dependence in...
