This thesis analyzes risk-adjustment schemes, a regulatory means to reduce incentives for risk selection in health insurance markets. In Chapter 2 the causes of incentives for risk selection and the general structure of risk-adjustment schemes are explained.

In the empirical part of this thesis the optimal risk-adjustment scheme is compared to the one currently used in Germany
