Abstract

This paper states asymptotic equivalents for the three first moments of the Eescher transform of a distribution on R with smooth density in the upper tail. As a by product if provides a tail approximation for its moment generating function, and shows that the Esscher transforms have a Gaussian behavior for large values of the parameter.
