We study the recursive moments of aggregate discounted claims, where the dependence between the inter-claim time and … of successive approximation to derive the Neumann series of the recursive moments. We then compute the first two moments …

preferences in terms of statistical moments. An implication is, for example, that prudence implies preference for distributions … with higher skewness as defined by all odd moments. Moreover, we show that this preference is robust towards variation in … kurtosis as defined by all even moments. We thus speak of the kurtosis robustness feature of prudence. Further, we show that …

commissioner, are able to increase their utility by using revenue sharing to affect higher order moments of the revenue … of team local revenues. We first determine the extent to which revenue sharing affects these moments in theory, then we …

We develop a new method, based on the use of polar coordinates, to investigate the existence of moments for … results. For JIVE, we obtain the new result that this estimator has no moments at all. Simulation results illustrate the … consequences of its lack of moments. …
