ABSTRACT Background For much of the 20th century, the South African mining industry had a statutory compensation system for pneumoconiosis and tuberculosis characterized by gross racial inequality. This study examines the impact of inflation over the period 1973–2024 on the real value of miners' lung disease compensation, including the effect of the ...

Cliquet option pricing with Meixner processes
We investigate the pricing of cliquet options in a geometric Meixner model. The considered option is of monthly sum cap style while the underlying stock price model is driven by a pure-jump Meixner–Lévy process yielding Meixner distributed log-returns ...

Adaptive Lévy processes and area-restricted search in human foraging. [PDF]
A considerable amount of research has claimed that animals' foraging behaviors display movement lengths with power-law distributed tails, characteristic of Lévy flights and Lévy walks.

Lévy processes conditioned to stay in a half-space with applications to directional extremes
This paper provides a multivariate extension of Bertoin’s pathwise construction of a Lévy process conditioned to stay positive or negative. Thus obtained processes conditioned to stay in half-spaces are closely related to the original process on a ...

ABSTRACT People with Phelan–McDermid syndrome (PMS) have reduced speech and language abilities, yet little research has profiled the communication abilities in this population. The purpose of this study was threefold: identifying the language and communication profiles of school‐aged children with PMS, identifying genetic contributions to language and ...

Cliquet option pricing in a jump-diffusion Lévy model
We investigate the pricing of cliquet options in a jump-diffusion model. The considered option is of monthly sum cap style while the underlying stock price model is driven by a drifted Lévy process entailing a Brownian diffusion component as well as ...

Lévy laplacians and annihilation process
The Lévy Laplacians are infinite-dimensional Laplace operators defined as the Cesaro mean of the second-order directional derivatives. In the theory of Sobolev–Schwarz distributions over a Gaussian measure on an infinite-dimensional space (the Hida ...
