Abstract: We consider the class of continuous-state branching processes with immigration (CBI-processes), introduced by Kawazu and Watanabe (1971) [10] and their limit distributions as time tends to infinity. We determine the Lévy–Khintchine triplet of the limit distribution and give an explicit description in terms of the characteristic triplet of the Lévy subordinator and the scale function of the spectrally positive Lévy process, which describe the immigration resp. branching mechanism of the CBI-process. This representation allows us to describe the support of the limit distribution and characterize its absolute continuity and asymptotic behavior at the boundary of the support, generalizing several known results on self-decomposable distributions.
