Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Since 2007, the world has suffered several crises of different natures, such as the global financial crisis that began in 2007, the European sovereign debt crisis in 2010–2012, the pandemic in 2020, and the geopolitical crisis initiated by the war between Russia and Ukraine in 2022. In addition, the world is also facing important challenges, such as compliance with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals established in the 2030 Agenda by the United Nations, digitalization, and the aging of the population, which will influence the sustainability of public pension systems. All of these phenomena entail a certain degree of uncertainty and, therefore, lead to risks, some already traditional (interest risk, inflation risk, liquidity risk, commodity risk, operational risk, and reputational risk) and others emerging (sustainable risks, longevity risks, and technological risks, among others).

This Special Issue aims to contribute to research on the topics of traditional and emerging risks in the world and financial markets and to propose future actions that are useful for addressing them efficiently. Contributions on new indices and measures of emerging risks are also welcome, since in periods of crisis the measurement of derived risks is even more necessary. We invite researchers and professionals from both academia and industry to contribute to this Special Issue by sharing their creative and innovative approaches. The scope of this Special Issue encompasses various aspects, including, but not limited to, the following:

  • Risk analysis.
  • Risk management.
  • Risk measures (indices, indicators, and other metrics).
  • Global risks.
  • Sovereign risks.
  • Money market risks.
  • Foreign exchange market risks.
  • Debt market risks.
  • Equity market risks.
  • Insurance risks.
  • Emerging risks.
  • Actuarial risks.
  • Other risks.

We welcome contributions that offer practical insights derived from real-world applications, as well as theoretical studies that advance the understanding of risk analysis and management in the world and financial markets.
