Area Yield Crop Insurance and Diversification in Ghana: An Agricultural Household Programming Model por Nyamekye I

“…Although diversification and insurance are acknowledged as important in ameliorating risk, to our knowledge, no empirical study has investigated how the two approaches work in concert in developing countries. Given increasing climate variability and the risks it poses to rain-fed agriculture, this study uses the Expected Utility Framework to develop two non-separable household mathematical programming and simulation models to examine the relationship between crop-diversification and index-based (area-yield) insurance for a representative agricultural household. …”
