NCIS Economic Research

Highlights

By Tom Zacharias and Harun Bulut, NCIS

The NCIS membership is generally aware of the association's agronomic
research program, which is the basis for the development and maintenance
of the crop insurance industry's loss adjustment procedures. In addition
to the agronomic research conducted in affiliation with NCIS staff and the
various agricultural land-grant universities, NCIS also supports an active
economic analysis program led by Dr. Harun Bulut.
Dr. Bulut is Senior Economist at
NCIS and has been with the association
over eight years. In this role, he conducts
economic research on various aspects of
crop insurance. He holds a Ph.D. degree
in economics from Iowa State University
and has published in several professional
journals, presents at professional meetings, and serves as referee to professional
journals. He is involved with the applied
risk analysis section of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association Harun Bulut, NCIS
(AAEA) and is serving as the chair for the section this year. Dr. Bulut grew
up in Ankara, the capital city of Turkey, where he also earned B.S. and M.A.
degrees in economics from METU and Bilkent University, respectively.
The close of 2017 witnessed the publication of two major research efforts
undertaken by Dr. Bulut.
* The first article, entitled "Managing Catastrophic Risk in Agriculture Through Ex Ante Subsidized Insurance or Ex Post Disaster Aid,"
was published on the Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics
(JARE) website in October 2017. (The article can be found online at

* The second article, entitled "U.S. Farmers' Insurance Choices under
Budget Heuristics," was published in the Agricultural Finance Review
(AFR) website in December 2017. (This article can be found online at

In what follows, we provide a brief summary of these articles and offer
some concluding thoughts at the end.
The JARE article primarily focuses on the government's choice of policy between ex-ante crop insurance and ex-post disaster aid in dealing with
catastrophic risk in agriculture. Although this has been a policy issue for
more than 30 years, it has gained prominence in recent years as Federal
crop insurance has become the centerpiece of the U.S. agricultural safety
