Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Traditionally, financial risk management has been pivotal for safeguarding assets, ensuring stability and fostering growth in the volatile world of finance, with a tremendously positive impact on the real economy as well. The use of quantitative methods has proven essential to assess and hedge risks meaningfully. Research in stochastic calculus, the theory of risk measures, advanced simulations and numerical mathematics has provided invaluable results, which are now part of the panoply of tools we rely upon in dealing with financial risks and risks in general.
However, as the financial landscape evolves, so does the complexity of risks, necessitating newer and more reliable modeling approaches. This Special Issue seeks to bridge traditional methodologies with innovative approaches, inviting groundbreaking contributions that push the boundaries of quantitative risk management. In addition to new findings in traditional areas of quantitative risk management, we particularly welcome alternative approaches and research exploring the integration of machine learning algorithms. Decentralized finance and blockchains, as tools for risk mitigation and transparency, are also of interest for this Special Issue when studied from a quantitative point of view.
I look forward to receiving your contributions. Please feel free to reach out if you have article proposals.
Best regards,
Prof. Dr. Pasquale Cirillo
Guest Editor

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Risks is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
