Abstrakt: This paper considers a risk sharing scheme of independent discrete losses that combines risk retention at individual level, risk transfer for too expensive losses and risk pooling for the middle layer. This ensures that pooled losses can be considered as being uniformly bounded. We study the no-sabotage requirement and diversification effects when the conditional mean risk-sharing rule is applied to allocate pooled losses. The no-sabotage requirement is equivalent to Efron's monotonicity property for conditional expectations, which is known to hold under log-concavity. Elementary proofs of this result for discrete losses are provided for finite population pools. The no-sabotage requirement and diversification effects are then examined within large pools. It is shown that Efron's monotonicity property holds asymptotically and that risk can be eliminated under fairly general conditions which are fulfilled in applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
