An optimal stopping problem in risk theory

Abstract: In classical risk theory often stationary premium and claim processes are considered. In some cases it is more convenient to model non-stationary processes which describe a movement from environmental conditions, for which the premiums were calculated, to less favorable circumstances. This is done by a Markov-modulated Poisson claim process. Moreover the insurance company is allowed to stop the process at some random time, if the situation seems unfavorable, in order to calculate new premiums. This leads to an optimal stopping problem which is solved explicitly to some extent.
