On characterizing the Pólya distribution
ESAIM: Probability and Statistics, Tome 6 (2002), pp. 105-112.

In this paper two characterizations of the Pólya distribution are obtained when its contagion parameter is negative. One of them is based on mixtures and the other one is obtained by characterizing a subfamily of the discrete Pearson system.
