Abstract

In the context of collective risk theory, we give a sample path identity relating capital injections in the original model and dividend payments in the time-reversed counterpart. We exploit this duality to provide an alternative view on some of the known results on the expected discounted capital injections and dividend payments for risk models driven by spectrally negative Lévy processes. Furthermore, we present a probabilistic analysis and simple resulting expressions for a model with two dividend barriers, which was recently shown by Schmidli to be optimal in various Lévy risk models when maximizing the difference of dividend payments and injections in the presence of tax exemptions.
