Abstract

In this article, we consider a compound Poisson insurance risk model with a random discount factor. This model is also known as the compound filtered Poisson model. By using some stochastic analysis techniques, a convergence result for the discounted surplus process, an expression for the ruin probability, and the upper bounds for the ruin probability are obtained.
