摘要：

In the absence of exogenous variation in insurance premiums andcoverage levels it is difficult to derive the demand for agricultural insuranceor the key drivers/attributes of agricultural insurance. This presentationoutlines our use of ‘in-the-field’ choice experiments to examine crop insurancedemand in Shandong, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Henan, and Jiangsu in 2018 and 2019. Thepresentation will illustrate the D-Optimal structure of our choice experiments(the Art) and how they were implemented in the field (the practice). Keyresults focus on willingness to pay for agricultural insurance as derived fromMixed Logit and Conditional Logit models.
