ABSTRACT

For an analysis of Tariff-Rate Quotas the question arises how to aggregate them. In this paper, two alternative aggregation methods are compared, based on the magnitude of aggregated tariffs or the aggregated quota rent.

Biases in Farm-Level Yield Risk Analysis due to
Data Aggregation

Published: 01.03.2012
Authors: Robert Finger

We investigate biases in farm-level yield risk analysis caused by data aggregation from the farm-level to regional and national levels using the example of Swiss wheat and barley yields. The estimated yield variability decreases significantly with increasing level of aggregation, with crop yield variability at the farm-level being up to 2.38 times higher than indicated…

The results of liberalization studies can be influenced decisively by the methodology of import tariff aggregation. This article deals with different measures used to aggregate import tariffs. Therefore, the advantages and disadvantages of different aggregation measures are discussed theoretically. In the empirical part of the paper, the simple average and the trade-weighted average of bound…

Risk Reduction Potential of Weather Index-based Insurance in Agribusiness –
The Importance of the Aggregation Level of Yield Time Series

Published: 01.06.2015

Weather index-based insurance is not sufficiently used in agriculture as of yet. Basis risks are considered to be a major reason for this. By the use of weather in-dex-based insurance, basis risks remain with the farmer. However, weather index-based insurance can be interesting for agribusiness companies, specifically those which aggregate yields of several farms amongst…
