Abstract
It is shown that the interarrival time Z covering the point zero in a stationary renewal process generated by X has the form with Y nonnegative and independent of X, if and only if X is infinitely divisible. In the special case that X has a compound-exponential distribution there is a similar decomposition of the stationary waiting time. These results shed some new light on the waiting-time paradox
