報告摘要:
We consider a random process stopped by a random variable and investigate the properties of the stopped process and its running maximum (or running minimum). A special case, exponential stopping of Brownian motion, is well known and many results are available. In some cases, such as Erlang stopping of Brownian motion, exponential stopping of jump diffusion and geometric stopping of random walk, we are able to obtain closed form expression for the joint distribution for the stopped process and its running maximum. The motivation of our study is from some actuarial science problems. In particular, we will apply the results to valuing Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefits in various deferred annuities. This talk is based on joint papers with Hans U. Gerber and Elias S.W. Shiu.
