Furthermore, little research exists explaining how different mechanisms might influence urban residents’ decision to participate in UA. Our research tested the direct effect of several predictors on ICUA using structural equational modelling. In addition, we tested the mediation effect between the predictors and the ICUA that may exist as well. Results are based on data from 200 agricultural professionals in the Zanjan province in northwest Iran. We found that “personal characteristics”, “UA positive and negative consequences”, “sociocultural”, and “economic” factors affect ICUA. Among all factors, “personal characteristics” had the strongest direct effect on ICUA. The indirect model incorporating “attitude” provided support for the mediation model. We found “personal characteristics”, “UA positive and negative consequences”, and “sociocultural” influenced ICUA indirectly through “attitude.” Among all factors, “sociocultural” had the strongest indirect effect on ICUA.

  • Designing a Whole-Farm Revenue Insurance for Agricultural Crops In
    Economía Agraria y Recursos Naturales. ISSN: 1578-0732. e-ISSN: 2174-7350. Vol. 17,2. (2017). pp. 29-53 Designing a whole-farm revenue insurance for agricultural crops in Zanjan province of Iran Mohammad Ghahremanzadeha, Rasoul Mohammadrezaeia, Ghader Dashtia and Moharram Ainollahib ABSTRACT: The purpose of this article is to design and empirically evaluate the Whole Farm Insur- ance (WFI) over the conventional insurance programs in Zanjan province of Iran. Historical farm-level and county-level data were used to estimate yield and price density functions. Both parametric and non- parametric methods were applied for predicting the future values and the PQH simulation method was utilized to calculate premium rates. Results revealed that loss ratios of the WFI are lower for farmers who insured more than one crop. Additionally, utilizing WFI reduces premiums. Moreover, premiums obtained from nonparametric method are relatively lower compared to the parametric approachy. KEYWORDS: Indemnity, Iran, price risk, whole-farm insurance, yield risk, Zanjan. Diseño de un seguro de ingresos de toda la granja para cultivos agrícolas en la provincia de Zanjan de Irán RESUMEN: El propósito de este artículo es diseñar y evaluar empíricamente el Seguro Agrario Integral (SAI) con respecto a los programas de seguros convencionales en la provincia de Zanjan de Irán. Se usaron datos históricos a nivel de explotación y de comarca para estimar las funciones de rendimiento y de densidad de precios. Se aplicaron métodos paramétricos y no paramétricos para predecir los valores futuros y se utilizó el método de simulación SAI para calcular las tasas de primas. Los resultados revelaron que los índices de pérdida del SAI son más bajos para los agricultores que aseguraron más de un cultivo.

References 18 Irani 2 I. Overview Part of a larger mausoleum complex in the Iranian province of Zanjan, the dome at Soltaniyeh was constructed between 1302 and 1312. The project was commissioned by the local ruler, Oljeitu, and it is considered by historians as a prime example of the architectural style pioneered in the Il-Khanid dynasty. The dome has a diameter of approximately 25 meters and reaches a height of 49 meters. The double shelled dome rests on a vertical drum which is supported on an octagonal base with a series of pointed arches and detailed muqarnas. 8 short minarets are radially arrayed around the dome. The dome is constructed entirely out of herringbone-patterned brick with no wooden or iron tension rings. A layer of thin decorative tile adorns the outside of the dome. For the past half-century, the dome has received intensive renovation work after centuries of disrepair. Figure 1: The Soltaniyeh dome as seen in 2011 after modern reconstruction efforts on the dome.
