Abstract

In this paper, the dependence structure of a Schur-constant model is investigated. A necessary and sufficient condition for a random vector to be Schur-constant is given, and some properties of the Schur-constant model are presented as well. Several applications of the Schur-constant model in insurance and finance are discussed.
