Managing Crop Production Risk with Crop Index Insurance Products

Index crop insurance products can eliminate the asymmetric information problem inherent in farm-level multiple peril crop insurance.

Index insurance products considered are based on county yields, cooling degree days, and predicted yields from a crop simulation model.
