A characterization of martingale-equivalent compound mixed Poisson process

Abstract

If a given aggregate process $S$ is a compound mixed Poisson process under a probability measure $P$, a characterization of all probability measures $Q$ on the domain of $P$, such that $P$ and $Q$ are progressively equivalent and $S$ remains a compound mixed Poisson process with improved properties, is provided. This result generalizes earlier work of Delbaen & Haezendonck (1989). Implications related to the computation of premium calculation principles in an insurance market possessing the property of no free lunch with vanishing risk are also discussed.
