We consider a Poisson process that is modulated in such a way that the arrival rate at any time depends on the state of a semi-Markov process. This presents an interesting generalization of Poisson processes with important implications in real life applications. Our analysis concentrates on the...

An asset is considered whose logarithmic price is the sum of a drift term, a Brownian motion and jumps of a Poisson process. Various items of future information about the price process are considered available to an informed agent. The optimal attainable wealths of both informed and uninformed...
