Abstract

The joint distributions of the exit time and exit value of a spectrally positive process, from semi-infinite and finite intervals, are derived in the form of Fourier-Laplace transforms. Also the probability that such a process makes its first exit from a finite interval via the lower end point is obtained explicitly.
