On moments of integrals with respect to Markov additive processes and of Markov modulated generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes

We establish sufficient conditions for the existence, and derive explicit formulas for the $κ$'th moments, $κ\geq 1$, of Markov modulated generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes as well as their stationary distributions. In particular, the running mean, the autocovariance function, and integer moments of the stationary distribution are derived in terms of the characteristics of the driving Markov additive process. Our derivations rely on new general results on moments of Markov additive processes and (multidimensional) integrals with respect to Markov additive processes.

Markov-modulated generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes and an application in risk theory

We derive the Markov-modulated generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process by embedding a Markov-modulated random recurrence equation in continuous time. The obtained process turns out to be the unique solution of a certain stochastic differential equation driven by a bivariate Markov-additive process. We present this stochastic differential equation as well as its solution explicitely in terms of the driving Markov-additive process. Moreover, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for strict stationarity of the Markov-modulated generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, and prove that its stationary distribution is given by the distribution of a specific exponential functional of Markov-additive processes. Finally we propose an application of the Markov-modulated generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process as Markov-modulated risk model with stochastic investment. This generalizes Paulsen's risk process to a Markov-switching environment. We derive a formula in this risk model that expresses the ruin probability in terms of the distribution of an exponential functional of a Markov-additive process.

Exponential functionals of Markov additive processes

We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for convergence of exponential integrals of Markov additive processes. Other than in the classical Lévy case studied by Erickson and Maller we have to distinguish between almost sure convergence and convergence in probability. Our proofs rely on recent results on perpetuities in a Markovian environment by Alsmeyer and Buckmann.
