Pitfalls and potential of institutional change: Rain-index insurance and the sustainability of rangeland management

Müller, Birgit; Quaas, Martin; Frank, Karin; … - 2009

Rain-index insurance is strongly advocated in many parts of the developing world to help farmers to cope with climatic risk that prevail in (semi-)arid rangelands due to low and highly uncertain rainfall. We present a modeling analysis of how the availability of rain-index insurance affects the...

Optimal grazing management rules in semi-arid rangelands with uncertain rainfall

Quaas, Martin F.; Baumgärtner, Stefan - 2011

We study optimal adaptive grazing management under uncertain rainfall in a discrete-time model. As in each year actual rainfall can be observed during the short rainy season, and grazing management can be adapted accordingly for the growing season, the closed-loop solution of the stochastic...
