J. Paulsen, SHARP CONDITIONS FOR CERTAIN RUIN IN A RISK PROCESS WITH STOCHASTIC RETURN ON INVESTMENTS, Stochastic processes and their applications, 75(1), 1998, pp. 135-148
We consider a classical risk process compounded by another independent
process. Both of these component processes are assumed to be Levy pro
cesses. Sharp conditions are given on the parameters of these two comp
onents to ensure when ruin is certain, and also when the time of ruin
is of exponential type. It is shown that under some weak conditions, t
hese problems depend only on the compounding process. When ruin is not
certain, it is shown in Paulsen (1993) that the ruin probability depe
nds on the distribution function of a certain present value, and an in
tegro-differential equation for the characteristic function is found t
here in the special case when the two component Levy processes have on
ly a finite number of jumps on any finite time interval. We generalize
this equation to the present case. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All
