Abstract
Crop revenue insurance has been widely discussed recently. It has become an important mechanism for risk management of crop yield and prices. However, a more comprehensive study is needed to investigate the dependence structure between the variables analyzed to calculate the premium rate actuarially fair for revenue insurance. This study proposes alternatives to calculate premium rates for revenue insurance using parametric copula functions. These methods were applied to data on soybean yield in the municipalities of Toledo, Cascavel Castro, and Guarapuava in Parana State (Brazil) and provided by the Institute of Economic and Social Development of Parana (IPARDES). Nominal prices received by producers in Parana State were provided by the Secretariat of Agriculture and Supply of Parana (SEAB).
期刊介绍:
A Revista Brasileira de Economia (RBE) é a mais antiga publicação de Economia do Brasil, e a segunda mais antiga da América Latina. Seus fundadores foram Arizio de Viana, o primeiro editor, e Eugênio Gudin, um dos mais influentes economistas da história brasileira. A RBE foi apresentada no seu primeiro número pelo professor Luiz Simões Lopes, em uma Introdução que poderia constar ainda hoje de qualquer número da revista.
