A dual risk model with additive and proportional gains: ruin probability and dividends

Abstract

We consider a dual risk model with constant expense rate and i.i.d. exponentially distributed gains CiC_i (i=1,2,i=1,2,\dots) that arrive according to a renewal process with general interarrival times. We add to this classical dual risk model the proportional gain feature, that is, if the surplus process just before the iith arrival is at level uu, then for a>0a>0 the capital jumps up to the level (1+a)u+Ci(1+a)u+C_i. The ruin probability and the distribution of the time to ruin are determined. We furthermore identify the value of discounted cumulative dividend payments, for the case of a Poisson arrival process of proportional gains. In the dividend calculations, we also consider a random perturbation of our basic risk process modeled by an independent Brownian motion with drift.
