Microinsurance Decisions: Gendered Evidence from Rural Bangladesh
Published By: IFPRI on eSS | Published Date: September, 01 , 2015This paper draws from a field research experiment to examine the
gendered aspects of willingness to pay for index-based insurance in Bangladesh. Participants were
presented with risky lotteries and a specific insurance contract and were asked to choose how much (if
any) of the insurance they wanted to buy at a given price. The probability structure (whether the risk was
catastrophic or moderate and whether there was high or low basis risk) varied within sessions.
