We consider a Markov additive process (MAP) with phase-type jumps, starting at
0. Given a positive level u, we determine the joint distribution of the
undershoot and overshoot of the first jump over the level u, the maximal
level before this jump, the time of attaining this maximum, and the time
between the maximum and the jump. The analysis is based on first passage times
and time reversion of MAPs. A marginal of the derived distribution is the
Gerber-Shiu function, which is of interest to insurance risk. Several examples
serve to compare the present result with the literature.
