Abstract: We study moments of the difference D_n(x)-x^n n! {\rm e}^{-1/x} concerning derangement polynomials D_n(x). For the first moment, we obtain an explicit formula in terms of the exponential integral function and we show that it is always negative for x>0. For the higher moments, we obtain a multiple integral representation of the order of the moment under computation.
