Abstract

Le contrat optimal contre un risque assurable en présence d'un second risque non assurable est examiné. Dans ce contexte de marchés incomplets, des indemnités sont versées lorsque l'indice assurable est inférieur ou supérieur à un seuil critique, selon que le revenu de l'assuré croît ou décroît avec cet indice. Ces résultats sont illustrés dans un contexte agricole où le risque de production est assurable alors que le risque de prix ne peut pas être couvert. Si le principe d'incertitude croissante est vérifié, la présence d'un risque de prix incite le producteur prudent à réduire le prix auquel les pertes sur récoltes sont indemnisées. L'effet du versement de subventions directes sur ce prix dépend du comportement de tempérance du producteur.
