2 Outline of my talk Motivations Development and implement index insurance program Satellite based livestock insurance in Kenya Prospects for Indonesia: Interesting research questions 2
3 Motivations Index Insurance Kenya Experience Prospects for Indonesia Insurance and Development Economic costs of uninsured (weather and natural disaster) risk, especially w/ threshold-based poverty traps Insurance protect rural livelihoods and escape poverty Provide safety net to prevent collapse of vulnerable populations Encourage investment and asset accumulation by the poor Induce financial deepening by crowding in credit market and social insurance Insurance pre-finance effective emergency response and recovery Timely response enhances resilience to shocks and reduce costs of humanitarian responses/social protection programs 3
4 Density Density Motivations Index Insurance Kenya Experience Prospects for Indonesia Insurance and Agricultural Risk Management Kernel density estimate High frequency/ Low loss/ Idiosyncratic Self and informal insurance effective Low frequency/ Extreme loss/ Covariate Need to transfer to formal risk market L Kargi kernel = epanechnikov, bandwidth =.29 Agricultural Livelihood/Income/Asset Loss L T Two types of formal agricultural insurance Conventional crop insurance Compensate actual loss, multi-peril or named coverage High costs of verifying losses Moral hazard and adverse selection Existing programs are very costly and largely subsidized Index insurance Compensate specific loss based on objectively measured index NOT actual loss Low costs no farm-level loss verification Low incentive problems insured cannot influence payout probability Challenges in minimizing basis risk No successful crop insurance in the world, Correspondence not should likely be addressed work to Sommarat.Chantarat@anu.edu.au in rural areas Promise as a market viable instruments, more suitable for rural areas in DCs 4
5 Indemnity Payout Motivations Index Insurance Kenya Experience Prospects for Indonesia Developing Index Insurance Program. Identify loss to be insured (L lt ) Identify uninsured loss by testing simple consumption risk sharing hypothesis (e.g., Townsend 994), L lt is uninsured if H : c = is rejected C lt = a + a l + a t + bx lt + cl lt + ε lt 2. Select objectively measured index (θ lt ) Highly correlated with loss, available reliably in near-real time, non-manipulable by insured parties, high spatial distribution, at least 2 years historical profiles 3. Quantify insurable loss from index (L θ lt ) θ lt needs to explain most of the loss variations: L lt = L θ lt + ε lt L θ lt Use micro data of L lt to minimize basis risk Π lt L θ lt L 4. Identify optimal contract structure L* L θ lt Payoff based on L θ lt : Π lt L θ lt L = max L θ lt L, sum insured Stand-alone contract, group-based contract, interlinked insurance-loan 5

Actuarial pricing Actuarial fair premium: burn rate and/or Monte Carlo simulation based on f(θ lt ) p l L θ lt L = E Π lt L θ lt L = Π lt L θ lt L df( θ lt ) 6. Ex-ante contract evaluation Simulated welfare and behavior response impacts using dynamic model/data Field experiments to elicit willingness to pay among targeted clients 7. Develop education and extension tools for pilot sale Simplified products, financial educational tools, targeted learning network 8. Identify cost effective delivery mechanisms Delivery through mobile technology, local financial institutions, network groups 9. Long-term micro-level impact assessment Randomized survey and experiments to elicit demand, impacts on welfare, induced behavior responses from control and treatment groups 6
