A Characterization of GEM Distributions

Let (X n) be a residual allocation model with i.i.d. residual fractions U n. For a random variable W with values in 0; 1] independent of (X n) we deene another sequence (Y n) by setting Under minor regularity assumptions we show that (X n) and (Y n) have the same probability law if and only if this law is a GEM distribution. In this case, the distribution of W and the U n 's is beta (1;) for so...

The problems seem to be worsening as well in less developed as in the more developed countries.
