In this paper we study the excursion time of a Brownian motion with drift outside a corridor by using a four-state semi-Markov model. In mathematical finance, these results have an important application in the valuation of double-barrier Parisian options. We subsequently obtain an explicit expression for the Laplace transform of its price.
