It is shown that an elementary pure birth process is a mixed Poisson process iff the sequence of post-jump intensities forms a martingale with respect to the σ -fields generated by the jump times of the process. In this case, the post-jump intensities converge almost surely to the mixing random variable of the process.

We study exponential families within the class of counting processes and show that a mixed Poisson process belongs to an exponential family if and only if it is either a Poisson process or has a gamma structure distribution. This property can be expressed via exponential martingales.
