Let { Zn, n 0} be an aperiodic irreducible recurrent (not necessarily positive recurrent) Markov chain taking values on a countable unbounded subset S of Rd, .r(-) its invariant measure and f is a non-negative function defined on S. We first find sufficient conditions under which J f(z)r(dz) = 0 (the corresponding result for the finiteness of J f(z)7r(dz) was obtained by Tweedie). Then we obtain lower and upper bounds for the values of the invariant measure n on the subsets B of S, that is, xr(B). These bounds are expressed in terms of first passage probabilities and the first exit time from B. We also show how to estimate the latter quantities using subor supermartingale techniques. The results are finally illustrated for driftless reflected random walks in Z2 and for Markov chains on nonnegative reals with asymptotically small drift of Lamperti type. In both cases we obtain very precise information on the asymptotic behaviour of their stationary measures.
