Abstract
The study of exponential functionals of Brownian motion has recently attracted much attention, partly motivated by several problems in financial mathematics. Let be a linear Brownian motion starting from 0. Following Dufresne (1989), (1990), De Schepper and Goovaerts (1992) and De Schepper et al. (1992), we are interested in the process (for δ > 0), which stands for the discounted values of a continuous perpetuity payment. We characterize the upper class (in the sense of Paul Lévy) of X, as δ tends to zero, by an integral test. The law of the iterated logarithm is obtained as a straightforward consequence. The process exp(W(u))du is studied as well. The class of upper functions of Z is provided. An application to the lim inf behaviour of the winding clock of planar Brownian motion is presented.
