Reports Outline Sustainability Research Study Findings from Universita degli Studi della Tuscia (EU income stabilization tool: potential impacts, financial sustainability and farmer’s risk aversion): Sustainability Research

2021 NOV 29 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Insurance Daily News -- A new study on sustainability research is now available. According to news reporting originating from the Universita degli Studi della Tuscia by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “The Income Stabilization Tool, a risk management scheme introduced within the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) 2014-2020, could help European Union farmers manage the income risks they face.”

The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from Universita degli Studi della Tuscia: “This study assesses the potential impact of implementing this tool through the maximum level of contribution to the fund which determines an indifference to participate in the fund and its financial sustainability. The study relies on an expected utility approach and assesses the variability of loss ratios over time using a sample of Italian hazelnut farms as a case study. The participation depends on the level of farmers’ contributions and their degree of risk aversion.”

According to the news editors, the research concluded: “However, the CAP public support makes the scheme financially sustainable.”
