摘要

美国农业部的农业支持项目有种族歧视的历史。今天，联邦农作物保险计划是美国农民可获得的最大和最重要的计划之一。先前的研究已经记录了对作物保险保费的系统性误判，其对福利的影响相当大。在本文中，我们探讨了在县一级测量生产者种族是否在作物保险误估模型中具有解释力。我们发现，在某些情况下确实如此，这引起了人们对军事革命的利率设定方法可能产生种族歧视影响的担忧。需要进一步的研究来分离解释我们发现的机制。

Race and premium misrating in the U.S. Federal Crop Insurance Program

USDA farm support programs have an established history of racial discrimination. Today, the Federal Crop Insurance Program is among the largest and most important programs available to U.S. farmers. Previous research has documented systematic misrating of crop insurance premiums with sizable welfare implications. In this paper, we explore whether producer race measured at the county level has explanatory power in a model of crop insurance misrating. We find that in some cases it does, raising concerns about the possibilities of racially discriminatory impacts of the RMA's rate-setting methodology. Further research is needed to isolate the mechanisms that explain our findings.
