A data-driven methodology to assess the accumulation risk in agricultural insurance contracts

A new methodology for measuring weather-related risk in agriculture.

Abstract

This study proposes a data-driven methodology to help agricultural insurance companies assess the accumulation risk associated with adverse weather events. The approach is based on identifying the typical spatial extent of such events, considered a key factor for correctly estimating their impact. To this end, a procedure is presented that uses historical weather data series to quantify and analyze the risk
