Abstract

We consider a Markov-modulated Brownian motion (MMBM) with phase-dependent

termination rates, i.e. while in a phase i the process terminates with a constant hazard

rate ri ? 0. For such a process we determine the matrix of expected local times (at

zero) before termination and hence the resolvent. The results are applied to some recent

questions arising in the framework of insurance risk. We further provide expressions for

the resolvent and the local times at zero of an MMBM re?ected at its in?mum.

Keywords: Markov-modulated Brownian motion; local time; resolvent; Markov-additive
