Local:  Sala C-116 Bloco C CT-UFRJ

Título: Generalized Risk Models, Levy Processes and the Discounted Penalty 
Function. 

Resumo:

We will review, from a historical point of view, the use of Levy processes 
in ruin theory. We focus on the decomposition for the ruin probability and 
we argue how its convolution structure is inherited from the Levy family of  
processes. We will discuss the notion of discounte penalty function in the 
framework of Levy risk processes. The problem of finding expressions for 
this function in a risk model driven by a Levy process will be addressed. 
Examples for which these expressions are available will be discussed. 
Expressions for the joint density of the process prior and at ruin are 
presented for a few examples. These include the gamma process and the 
inverse Gaussian process. Finally, forms of the discounted penalty function 
in a more general setting will be discussed.
