Asmussen, Søren
Risk theory in a Markovian environment. (English)
[J] Scand. Actuarial J. 1989, No.2, 69-100 (1989). ISSN 0346-1238

Summary: We consider risk processes $\{R\sb t\}\sb{t\ge 0}$ with the property that the rate $\beta$ of the Poisson arrival process and the distribution of B of the claim sizes are not fixed in time but depend on the state of an underlying Markov jump process $\{Z\sb t\}\sb{t\ge 0}$ such that $\beta =\beta\sb i$ and $B=B\sb i$ when $Z\sb t=i.$ \par A variety of methods, including approximations, simulation and numerical methods, for assessing the values of the ruin probabilities are studied and in particular we look at the Cramér-Lundberg approximation and diffusion approximations with correction terms. The mathematical framework is Markov-modulated random walks in discrete and continuous time, and in particular Wiener-Hopf factorisation problems and conjugate distributions (Esscher transforms) are involved.
