Sums of Dependent Lognormal Random Variables: Asymptotics and Simulation

by Søren Asmussen and Leonardo Rojas-Nandayapa
Research Reports Number 469 (January 2006)
Let (Y1,,Yn) have a joint n-dimensional Gaussian distribution with a general mean vector and a general covariance matrix, and let Xi=\eYi, Sn= X1++Xn. The asymptotics of P(Sn>x) as n is shown to be the same as for the independent case with the same lognormal marginals. Further, a number of simulation algorithms based on conditional Monte Carlo ideas are suggested and their efficiency properties studied.
