Template-Type: ReDIF-Paper 1.0 Title: Laplace transforms and suprema of stochastic processes Author-Name: Klaus Schürger Author-Email: Classification-JEL: G12 Keywords: Laplace transform, Bessel processes, Levy process Abstract: It is shown that moments of negative order as well as positive non- integral order of a nonnegative random variable X can be expressed by the Laplace transform of X. Applying these results of certain first passage times gives explicit formulae for moments of suprema of Bessel processes as well as strictly stable Levy processes having no positive jumps.
