Modeling, Analysis and Optimization for Mathematical Finance, Economics and Risks, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

The financial and economic landscapes are undergoing rapid transformations, driven by technological advancements, evolving market dynamics, and an increasing emphasis on sustainability. These developments present both unprecedented opportunities and complex challenges for risk measurement, management, and investment strategies. In response, there is a pressing need for innovative approaches that integrate cutting-edge methodologies to address the multifaceted nature of modern financial risks.

This Special Issue seeks to advance the modeling, analysis, and optimization of risks in finance, insurance, and economics by exploring the intersection of traditional financial theories with contemporary technological and environmental considerations. We are particularly interested in, but are not limited to, green finance and climate risk modeling, game-theoretic and advanced computational approaches, artificial intelligence and machine learning in risk management and optimization, data-driven financial and actuarial modeling, utilizing big data analytics to inform financial models, and enabling more precise forecasting and risk evaluation. The integration of diverse data sources, including alternative data, has become increasingly vital in developing comprehensive financial models.

By fostering interdisciplinary research that bridges finance, technology, and mathematics, this Special Issue aims to provide innovative solutions to the evolving challenges in financial and actuarial risk management. We encourage submissions that offer novel insights, methodologies, and applications that can advance the field and contribute to the development of more resilient and sustainable financial systems.
