Abstract
Mariculture is a well-known high-risk industry. However, mariculture insurance, which is an important risk management tool, is facing serious market failure. An important reason for this market failure lies in the unsound premium rate and pricing method. Due to a lack of long-term yield data, empirical rates are often adopted, but this adoption can lead to a high loss ratio. This paper provides an improved method for premium computation of mariculture insurance using an information diffusion model (IDM). An example of oyster insurance in China shows that, compared with the traditional pricing approach, the IDM can greatly improve the accuracy and stability of premium rate calculations, especially in cases of small samples.
