Abstract

This research aims to study and construct a mathematical model used to estimate the crop insurance premium for the case of total premium equal damage compensation.

The result shows that the expected insurance cost (equal premium) for each agriculturist’s household could be calculated by the product of an expected compensation value for each flood and an expected number of compensation claim:
