Abstract. It is shown that the tail behavior of the function of nonnegative random variables can be characterized using deterministic functions satisfying certain properties. Also, the upper and lower bounds for the tail of product of random variables are given. Applications of these results are given to some of the well-known models in economics and risk theory.
