Abstract:
We explore an extension of the memoryless property for continuous random variables by using the concept of pseudo-sum. Subsequently, we demonstrate the practicality of this approach through two financial applications in which pseudo-sums characterize the values of arbitrage-free contingent claims. Moreover, we are able to establish new interesting connections between different probability distributions.
