# Laplace functional of a Poisson random measure with stochastic intensity

This is one of the problems from Cinlar's 2011 book - "Probability and Stochastics" (Chapter VI, page 262, exercise 2.36) : Let $N$ be a Poisson random measure on $R^{+}$, defined by

$N(\omega, B) = \int_{\mathbb{R}^{+}\times \mathbb{R}^{+}}M(\omega, dt, dz)I_{B}(t)I_{[0,R_{t}(\omega)]}(z)\text{, }B\in\mathcal{B}(R^{+})\text{, }$

where $M(\omega,dt,dz)$ is a Poisson random measure on $\mathbb{R}^{+}\times \mathbb{R}^{+}$, with intensity measure being equal to the 2-dimensional Lebesgue measure, and $R = \{R_{t}\}_{t\geq 0}$ is a positive, bounded, left-continuous stochastic process, independent of $M$.

The aim is to show that

$\mathbb{E}e^{-Nf}$ = $\mathbb{E}\text{exp_}\int_{\mathbb{R}^{+}}$$dtR_{t}(1-e^{-f(t)})\text{, }f\geq0,\text{ Borel}$,

where $Nf$ denotes the integral of $f$ with respect to the measure $N(\omega,\cdot)$ and exp_ is the shorthand for the function $e^{-x}$.

My idea was to start with $f(t) = cI_{(a,b]}(t)$ and then use linearity and monotone convergence to prove the general case, but even with this simplification I have no idea how to use the independence of $R$ and $M$, or , in fact, how to even compute the expectation of

$\text{exp_}M(\omega,(a,b]\times[0,R_{t}(\omega)])$.

Any ideas?
