60 Factorizations of the Pareto law Example (After Gjessing and Paulsen (1997) and Singh (28)) Let ξ be a Lévy process with drift +1 and no-positive jumps with Lévy measure Π(dx) = b(b (1 a))e x(b (1 a)) dx, x <, with < a < 1 < a + b. The Laplace exponents are ψ(λ) = λ(λ (1 a)) λ + b + a 1, ψ (λ) = λ(λ + (1 a)), λ, λ + b θ = 1 a. Hence, the associated exponential functionals are distributed as I Law = 1 β b+a,1 a β b+a,1 a, I Law = 1 β 1 a,a+b 1, J Law = β 1,a+b 1. We conclude that 1 β b+a,1 a Law β 1,a+b 1 = Pareto(1 a). β b+a,1 a 27/ 28
