Providing Crop Disaster Assistance through a Modified Deficiency Payment Program
提出改良差额支付计划，基于区域平均收入与目标收入之差提供补偿，以减少道德风险、降低政府成本，替代补充性灾害援助。
Abstract Federal income support programs provide producers with only a limited degree of income protection in the event of a widespread crop failure. As an alternative to supplemental disaster assistance, we propose a modification of the deficiency payments program in which a producer's payment would be based on the difference between a target revenue and the average revenue in the producer's region. A regional target revenue progam would provide improved individual income protection without promoting moral hazard and would limit regional revenue shortfalls, thereby eliminating the demand for supplemental disaster assistance and reducing government costs.
