OverviewAI-generated summary

Hunter D. Biram's research focuses on agricultural risk management, particularly concerning crop insurance and its actuarial implications. He investigates how various insurance products, such as Revenue Protection and Agriculture Risk Coverage, can mitigate price and yield uncertainties for farmers. His work also examines the impact of extreme weather events on agricultural production and rural infrastructure, including transportation and crop prices. Biram has published on the participation rates and risk reduction potential of supplemental crop insurance and the effects of hurricane incidence on agricultural production risk using insurance data. He also explores the risk-return profiles of forward contracting corn alongside crop insurance and the actuarial considerations of prevented planting coverage. Biram collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Lawson Connor, Eunchun Park, and J. Mitchell.
