| The study evaluates the effectiveness of a catastrophic drought-index insurance developed by applying two alternative methods - the standard regression analysis and the copula approach. Most empirical analyses obtain estimates of the dependence of crop yields on weather by employing linear regression. By doing so, they assume that the sensitivity of yields to weather remains constant over the whole distribution of the weather variable and can be captured by the effect of the weather index on the yield conditional mean. In our study we evaluate, whether the prediction of farm yield losses can be done more accurately by conditioning yields on extreme realisations of a weather index. Therefore, we model the dependence structure between yields and weather by... |

| The paper analyses methodological and practical solutions that have been introduced to assess the impact of the Rural Development Programme 2007-2013 in Latvia. The work on the development of the evaluation of the impact of rural support is only in progress, the range of data sources is not large either. Therefore the author offers a solution how the evaluation of the RDP is organized in Latvia, with the resources and the amount of information available, and what activities are planned in the future. Special attention is devoted to the development of the methodology for calculating the direct economic effect, including the principles of the formation of the group of the affected farms and the control group, as well as the choice of the range of indicators... |
