The feasibility of Picture-Based Insurance (PBI): Smartphone pictures for affordable crop insurance por Ceballos, Francisco, Kramer, Berber, Robles, Miguel

“…A pilot implementation in the rice-wheat belt of India speaks to PBI being a feasible and valuable innovation to reduce downside basis risk in index insurance: nearly two-thirds of trained farmers took at least four pictures (roughly one per growth stage), which was considered sufficient for loss assessment; severe damage was visible from smartphone pictures in 71 percent of affected sites; and this was a significant improvement over alternative index-based products, which identified severe damage in at most 34 percent of affected sites.…”

Weather dataset choice introduces uncertainty to estimates of crop yield responses to climate variability and change por Parkes, Ben, Higginbottom, Thomas P., Hufkens, Koen, Ceballos, Francisco, Kramer, Berber, Foster, Timothy

“…Our results show that individual gridded weather datasets vary in their representation of historic spatial and temporal temperature and precipitation patterns across India. We show that these differences create large uncertainties in estimated crop yield responses and exposure to extreme weather events, which highlight the need for improved consideration of input data uncertainty in statistical studies that explore impacts of climate variability and change on agriculture.…”

Public benefits of private technology adoption: The localized spatial externalities of water conservation in eastern Uttar Pradesh por Bhargava, Anil K., Lybbert, Travis J., Spielman, David J.

“…This paper focuses on the geophysical complications that shape public benefits across landscapes, raising spatial considerations of the WCT adoption decision and optimal diffusion patterns that can inform policymakers with the dual objectives of cost-efficient natural resource conservation and poverty alleviation, particularly in light of increasingly erratic weather patterns attributed to climate change. We focus on India—the world’s largest user of groundwater—and build a spatially sensitive hydroeconomic model to capture the dynamics of public water availability due to WCT adoption. …”
