In life insurance and finance, stochastically discounted sums of the following type are important:where (Zi) and (Vi) are independent iid sequences satisfying mild moment conditions. Sums of this type are called perpetuities. TheYiare interpreted as payments, the Zias discount factors. The distributional properties ofSn, forn< ∞, can be studied via the following random equation:whereSo:= 0. In this paper we discuss some aspects of the behaviour of solutions of this and related random equations, and their applications to perpetuities.
