Abstract

RESUMEN - En este artículo se analizan un conjunto de políticas de estabilización de los ingresos de los productores olivareros españoles, entre las que se incluyen seguros de rendimientos e ingresos. En teoría y bajo ciertos supuestos, la estabilización de los ingresos con un seguro de ingresos se puede lograr a un coste inferior al uso combinado de seguros de rendimientos y un seguro de precios. Tras revisar algunas experiencias con seguros de ingresos, se desarrolla una aplicación para comparar, desde la doble perspectiva de eficacia en el gasto público y de reducción de riesgos, distintas políticas de intervención en el sector olivarero, incluyendo las de los pagos actuales, ayuda al árbol, seguro de rendimientos actual y un seguro de ingresos. Los resultados no permiten afirmar que un seguro de ingresos sería un instrumento superior, desde ambas perspectivas pública y privada, al actual sistema de protección que combina el seguro de rendimiento y la ayuda a la producción. Se demuestra que el seguro de ingresos tiene menos necesidad de reaseguro que un seguro de rendimientos, y por tanto es relativamente menos costoso. Finalmente, el análisis provincial muestra que los resultados de cada política analizada difieren sustancialmente en base a los riesgos y potencial productivos propios de cada provincia. SUMMARY - This paper analises a set of revenue stabilisation policies for Spanish olive oil growers, including yield and revenue insurance schemes. In theory and under certain assumptions, revenue insurance provides cheaper revenue stabilisation than a combination of price and yield insurance. After reviewing several revenue insurance experiences, an application is developed to compare various policies that include the actual production aid, tree aid, yield insurance and revenue insurance. The comparison is made taking into account the efficacy of public expenditure's efficiency and the risk reduction potential. Results do not back the assertion that a revenue insurance scheme would be a superior policy than the current policy, that includes a production aid and yield insurance. It is shown that revenue insurance requires less reinsurance protection than yield insurance, making it cheaper on relative terms. Lastly, the analyses at provincial level show that the results of each studied policy are sharply different based on the risks and productivity that characterise each province.
