Regarding the upcoming of new technologies such as availability of satellite data in high detail for large parts around the world as well as new methods to collect on field ground data there is the question how such new technologies could help in overcoming some of the problems from the demand as well as supply side in (micro-) insurance products. A method is suggested how risk reduction as well as growth objectives can be simultaneously introduced within a remote sensing index-based insurance framework. The applicability and usefulness of the approach is tested for smallhold farmers in North Shewa, Ethiopia. It is found that the use of remote sensing data is indeed a possible alternative to traditional weather based micro-insurance schemes and offer new ways to tackle current problems of such schemes from a supply side as well as demand side perspective. 2014 published ELsevier 10.1016/j.crm.2014.09.002 XJ-14-279 Climate Risk Management; 6:27-38 (Published online 8 October 2014) [doi:10.1016/j.crm.2014.09.002] 126 1631 98 229 public Climate Risk Management 6 27-38 TRUE 2212-0963 FALSE info:eu-repo/semantics/article
