Normal variance-mean mixtures (I) an inequality between skewness and kurtosis

Werner Huerlimann

Abstract


It is shown that the ratio of squared skewness to kurtosis for the normal variance-mean mixture model is bounded above by the same ratio for the mixing distribution. Illustrations include the generalized hyperbolic distribution, the normal tempered stable distribution and a mixture model with log-normal mixing distribution.
