Several countries have recently abolished or significantly reduced their taxes on bequests.Bequest taxes, on the other hand, were among the first to be introduced when modernsystems of taxation were developed at the end of the nineteenth century. We propose anexplanation for these facts which is...

Several division rules have been proposed in the literature regarding how anarbiter should divide a bankrupt estate. Different rules satisfy different sets ofaxioms, but all rules satisfy claims boundedness which requires that no contributorbe given more than her initial contribution. This paper...

The standard methods for the calculation of total claim size distributions and ruin probabilities, Panjer recursion and algorithms based on transforms, both apply to lattice-type distributions only and therefore require...

Numerical evaluation of compound distributions is one of the centralnumerical tasks in insurance mathematics. Two widely used techniques are Panjer recursion and transform methods...

This paper uses Monte Carlo simulations to assess the impact of noisy inputparameters on the accuracy of estimated portfolio credit risk. Assumptionsabout input quality are derived from the distribution of historical samplestatistics commonly used in default risk modelling. The resulting...

A unique indivisible commodity with an unknown common value is owned bygroup of individuals and should be allocated to one of them while compensating theothers monetarily. We study the so-called fair division game (Güth, Ivanova-Stenzel,Königstein, and Strobel (2002, 2005)) theoretically and...

That Britain became more unequal in the last quarter century is well known; the scale of change, less so.At the end of the 1970s, the richest tenth received 21 per cent of total disposable income. This rose to 28-29per cent by 2002-03, as much as the whole of the bottom half. More than half of...

This paper studies the distribution of the classical t-ratio with data generatedfrom distributions with no nite moments and shows how classical testing is affectedby bimodality. A key condition in generating bimodality is independenceof the observations in the underlying data generating process...
