Rethinking Premium Subsidies for Agricultural Insurance. Quantitative evidence from 146 index insurance schemes worldwide
While subsidization of index insurance is a common measure to promote financial risk management in agriculture, this form of policy support is highly controversial. Critics fear, among others, potential market distortions and heavy strains on public budgets, and point out alternatives like product bundling. Providing the first quantitative, cross-country evidence, this study analyzes the role of subsidization, loan bundling, and non-loan bundling…
Being Well-in with the Joneses? A Lab-in-the-Field Experiment on Conspicuous Consumption among Rural Communities
Conspicuous consumption, specialised consumption of high visibility but without apparent economic benefit, is reducing investment in productive assets and thus hindering economic development in low-income countries. In previous research, the phenomenon was commonly explained by status-seeking and herding behaviour. Our study follows a novel angle in testing the role of risk sharing, assuming that investment into social status is perceived to incr…
An accuracy assessment of satellite-based cotton yield estimation using panel data regression
Satellite-based yield estimation is crucial for spotting potential deficits in crop yields at an early stage, supports farm-level decision-making and early-warning systems, and is a prerequisite for index insurance markets. Precise satellite-based yield estimations are already established for important food crops like maize and wheat. However, for many cash crops like cotton, the accuracy of satellite-based yield estimation has not been scientifi…

Home Environment and Early Development of Rural Children
Delays in early child development are among the aspects underlying the persistent developmental gaps between regions and social strata. This study seeks to examine the relationship between the home environment and early child development in less-developed rural areas by drawing on data from 445 children from villages in Guizhou province in southwest China. A demographic questionnaire, the Home Observation Measurement of the Environment (HOME), an…
The Interrelationships between Parental Migration, Home Environment, and Early Child Development in Rural China
A growing body of literature is providing evidence of a negative association between parental migration and child development. Meanwhile, the chain of relationships between parental migration, home environment, and early child development has not yet been well documented in China. This paper investigates the interrelationships between parental migration, home environment, and early child development in an undeveloped area of western rural China. …
Trade and dietary diversity in Eastern Europe and Central Asia
The Brink of Poverty
The Rural Minimum Living Standard is an important component of social security in rural areas of China, as it provides social assistance to poor rural households. The country's size and large development heterogeneities, however, make the policy's implementation a challenging task. Using quantitative and qualitative data from rural households and administrators in five provinces, we identify the pitfalls of multi-level implementation along with t…
