Abstract: We find conditions which guarantee moment (in)determinacy of powers and products of nonnegative random variables. We establish new and general results which are based either on the rate of growth of the moments of a random variable or on conditions about the distribution itself. For the class of generalized gamma random variables we show that the power and the product of such variables share the same moment determinacy property. A similar statement holds for half-logistic random variables. Besides answering new questions in this area, we either extend some previously known results or provide new and transparent proofs of existing results.
