A new and simpler proof of Morrison's result that within exponential mixtures only IFR gamma mixing produces linearly increasing mean residual life functions is given. A parallel and new characterization of the DFR gamma laws follows as a consequence. The method of proof used suggests a general result on the infinite divisibility of the mixing distributions in exponential mixtures.

This paper deals with a characterization of the first-exit time of the inverse Gaussian subordinator in terms of natural exponential family. This leads us to characterize, by means its variance function, the class of L?vy processes time-changed by the first-exit time of the inverse Gaussian subordinator.

We investigate the properties of multifractal products of geometric Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) processes driven by Lévy motion. The conditions on the mean, variance, and covariance functions of the resulting cumulative processes are interpreted in terms of the moment generating functions. We consider five cases of infinitely divisible distributions for the background driving Lévy processes, namely, the gamma and variance gamma distributions, the inverse Gaussian and normal inverse Gaussian distributions, and the z-distributions. We establish the corresponding scenarios for the limiting processes, including their Rényi functions and dependence structure.
