| This paper attempts to draw conclusions regarding Risk Management instruments (RMI) for potential development or expansion in the EU (Garrido and Bielza, 2007). Using data from EU countries, compiled in the course of two EU research projects about RMIs, we perform a cross-sectional analysis of the role of agricultural insurance and ad hoc payments. Tests of comparisons of means of key insurance data reveal the impact of insurance policies and the degree of competitiveness in supply side. While the presence of subsidies explains differences across EU member states' (MSs) insurance data, the degree of competitiveness is not a differentiating factor. In the last part of the paper, we rate a number of RMIs on the basis of a number of criteria. We conclude that... |

| RESUMEN: En este artículo se analizan un conjunto de políticas de estabilización de los ingresos de los productores olivareros españoles, entre las que se incluyen seguros de rendimientos e ingresos. En teoría y bajo ciertos supuestos, la estabilización de los ingresos con un seguro de ingresos se puede lograr a un coste inferior al uso combinado de seguros de rendimientos y un seguro de precios. Tras revisar algunas experiencias con seguros de ingresos, se desarrolla una aplicación para comparar, desde la doble perspectiva de eficacia en el gasto público y de reducción de riesgos, distintas políticas de intervención en el sector olivarero, incluyendo las de los pagos actuales, ayuda al árbol, seguro de rendimientos actual y un seguro de ingresos. Los... |

| Various forms of revenue insurance have been applied in Canada and in the US with relative success. In this paper different combinations of traditional agricultural policies and revenue and yield insurance are analysed for the Spanish olive oil sector. Taking a database containing about half million Spanish olive growers during 8 campaigns, five possible policies are studied and the results are examined according to different criteria including average revenue and its variability, growers utility gains, taxpayers cost and the transfer efficiency of support. The policies analysed are: (1) non-intervention; (2) the policy currently in force in Spain that combines a production aid with a yield insurance; (3) a revenue insurance, only; (4) revenue insurance... |

| Since 1996, different formats of whole-farm insurance (WFI) have been launched in North America and Spain. Their rationale is to pool all farm's insurable risks into a single policy that provides cheaper coverage against the farm's revenue losses. We evaluate the gains of moving from a situation of full insurance coverage delivered by crop-specific policies to WFI. Based on the records of individual farmers gathered by the Spanish Agricultural Insurance Agency (ENESA), we select two representative farms in Valencia that have consistently purchased insurance during 1993-2004 for three crops (apricots, plums and wine grapes). WFI is designed to deliver exactly the same expected revenue than does the combined effects of three crop-specific multiple-peril... |

| En 2003 y 2004, se ofreció por primera vez en España un seguro que protege contra la caída de precios en origen de un producto agrícola. Se trata de un seguro de rentas lanzado con carácter piloto para las producciones de patata de media estación y patata tardía en cinco provincias españolas (Álava, Burgos, La Rioja, León y Valladolid). El objetivo de este trabajo es describir las características del seguro y realizar una evaluación preliminar de las campañas en que ha funcionado. Se parte de una aproximación conceptual a los instrumentos de gestión de riesgos de mercado, en cuyo contexto se enmarca el presente seguro. Posteriormente se explica el modelo de precios empleado para definir los precios de referencia del mercado y las primas, contrastando la... |
