Abstract

In this paper we propose a new approach to study the Parisian ruin problem for spectrally negative Lévy processes. Since our approach is based on a hybrid observation scheme switching between discrete and continuous observations, we call it a temporal approach as opposed to the spatial approximation approach in the literature. Our approach leads to a unified proof for the underlying processes with bounded or unbounded variation paths, and our result generalizes Loeffen et al. (2013).
