A general upper bound for the tail of the compound negative binomial distribution is constructed. By establishing a connection with the individual risk mode the upper bound is seen to be a (possibly degenerate) mixture of tails of gamma distribution. The bound is sharp in that it is an equality in t
An exact asymptotic formula for the tail probability of a multivariate normal distribution is derived. This formula is applied to establish two asymptotic results for the maximum deviation from the mean: the weak convergence to the Gumbel distribution of a normalized maximum deviation and the precis
The author characterizes the classes of utility functions that are consistent with different notions of mean preserving spreads introduced in the literature. This gives rise to a unified approach and extension of some definitions of increasing risk, including the concepts of Rothschild and Stiglitz
