Abstract

Zusammenfassung In Deutschland ist das Interesse an (neuen) Risikomanagementinstrumente n für die Landwir t- schaft in letzter Zeit stark gestiegen. Vor diesem Hintergrund erfolgt i n diesem Working Paper eine systematische Zusammenstellung und Bewertung ausgewählter Instrumente zum Ris ikom a- nagement in der Landwirtschaft. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf außerbetriebli chen Risikomanage- mentinstrumenten, die in Deutschland derzeit nicht weit verbreitet sind oder deren Ausgesta l- tung aktuell besonders intensiv diskutiert wird. Ein weiterer Schwerpu nkt der Analysen liegt auf der exemplarischen Kostenabschätzung der Implementierung neuer Ansätze in Deut schland. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass eine große Vielfalt an potenziellen Instrumenten zur Verbesserung des RisikoŵaŶageŵeŶts iŶ der LaŶdǁirtsĐhaft existiert. IŶstruŵeŶte, die aŶ der AŶsatzstell e ‚Erlös‘ ansetzen, spielen in den USA eine große Rolle, sind jedoch in der EU bisher kaum verbreitet. I n- strumente, die an übergeordneten Erfolgskriterien wie Margen oder Einkommen an setzen, bi e- ten eine hohe Effektivität der Absicherung. Sie stellen aber in der praktisch en Umsetzung oft enorme Anforderungen an die Administration/Verwaltung. Dies kann als wesentl icher Er klä- rungsgrund für die auch international vergleichsweise geringe Verbreitung entsprec hender I n- strumente gesehen werden. Indexbasierte (staatlich unterstützte) Absicherungen si nd in den USA vergleichsweise weit verbreitet, werden in europäischen Ländern derzeit jedoch nur vereinzelt angeboten. Hier besteht Potenzial für zukünftige Weiterentwicklungen , die das Basisrisiko i nde x- basierter Ansätze reduzieren . Abstract Interest in (new) risk management instruments for agriculture has greatly increased in Germany in recent years. Against this background, this working paper provides a systematic compilation and assessment of selected instruments for managing risk in agriculture, focu sing on off-farm risk management instruments which are not yet widely used in Germany or who se design is subject to current intensive discussions. In addition, the analyses provide an exemplary assessment of the potential costs of selected new instruments in Germany. The results show that a great variety of potential instruments to improve risk management in agriculture exists. Instru ments targeting revenues play an important role in the US but are not widespread in t he EU. The effectiveness of instruments which target financial success criteria like margins or income is high. However, the practical implementation of such instruments generally presents enormous ad ministrative chal- lenges, which is one of the key factors explaining their low prevalence . Index-based (subsided) protection schemes are comparably widespread in the US, while their availabil ity in Europe is limited to a few cases . There is potential for future further developments which reduce the basic risk inherent in index-based approaches.
