Abstract

This paper presents the Laplace transform of the time until ruin for a fairly general risk model. The model includes both the classical and most Sparre-Andersen risk models with phase-distributed claim amounts as special cases. It also allows for correlated arrival processes, and claim sizes that depend upon environmental factors such as periods of contagion. The paper exploits the relationship between the surplus process and fluid queues, where a number of recent developments have provided the basis for our analysis.
