Abstract
Shaked and Shanthikumar [425] introduced the excess wealth transform and the related excess wealth order. A lot of research activities have taken place on this topic lately. In this paper, we discuss some recent developments of this transform and illustrate how to use this transform in extreme value analysis. We also summarize the applications of excess wealth order in reliability theory, auction theory, and actuarial science. Some new research directions are mentioned as well.
