Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to this Special Issue dedicated to exploring the intricate relationship between mathematics, probability, and statistics in the realm of finance. In today's fast-paced and ever-evolving financial landscape, understanding the underlying mathematical principles, probabilistic models, and statistical methods is crucial for making informed decisions, managing risk, and uncovering new avenues for financial innovation.

This issue brings together a collection of cutting-edge research articles and insightful contributions from leading experts in the field. From advanced mathematical modeling techniques to sophisticated probabilistic frameworks, and from empirical studies to theoretical advancements, each article offers valuable insights into the application of mathematical and statistical methodologies in finance.

Topics covered in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Stochastic option pricing models;
  • Derivative pricing and hedging;
  • Modeling and pricing in insurance;
  • Portfolio optimization;
  • Optimal investment;
  • Risk management;
  • Models for credit risk;
  • Value at risk (VaR) models;
  • Financial time series analysis;
  • Optimal stopping in mathematical finance;
  • High-frequency trading strategies;
  • Machine learning applications in finance.

By delving into these topics, we aim to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the mathematical and statistical tools that underpin modern finance and their practical implications for investment, risk management, and financial decision-making.

We hope that this Special Issue will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and students alike, fostering further exploration and innovation at the intersection of mathematics, probability, and statistics in finance.
