Special Issue Information

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.

The bond market serves dual roles in fiscal and financial spheres, playing a crucial role in coordinating monetary policy. This paper investigates the impact of quantitative and price-based monetary policies on the liquidity level of China’s bond market. A comprehensive index measuring the liquidity of the local bond market is constructed using a combination weighting method that integrates the entropy method and the coefficient of variation. Employing the time-varying stochastic volatility structure vector autoregression (TVP-SV-SVAR) model on data spanning from 2013 to 2021, this study empirically compares the impulse response of local bond market liquidity to monetary policy shocks. The findings reveal that both types of monetary policy operations exhibit asymmetric, nonlinear, and time-varying impacts on bond market liquidity. Quantitative monetary instruments induce deeper impulse responses, with longer-lasting effects. These conclusions offer insights for monetary policy reforms and bond market development in China.

Credit-linked notes (CLNs) are vital for transferring and diversifying credit risks in asset securitization, yet their application in China remains limited despite policy support. This paper optimizes China’s CLN pricing mechanism by developing the structured model incorporating the dynamic default boundary and the probability of government implicit guarantees. The model transforms the pricing problem into a semi-unbounded problem via partial differential methods, yielding an explicit pricing solution through Poisson’s formula. Empirical analysis reveals that government implicit guarantees are observed in systemically important institutions in the domestic CLN market and significantly reduce credit risk premiums, with Monte Carlo simulations indicating an approximately positive linear correlation between guarantee probability and CLN prices. Our results demonstrate the dual impact of implicit guarantees—lowering risk premiums while potentially hindering market discipline. This research advances China’s credit derivative pricing theory, offering institutions a pricing tool and further providing policy and practical suggestions for regulatory authorities. Full article

In this paper, we take a new perspective to describe the model uncertainty, and thus propose two new classes of risk measures under model uncertainty. To be precise, we use an auxiliary random variable to describe model uncertainty. By proposing new sets of axioms under model uncertainty, we axiomatically introduce and characterize conditional coherent and convex risk measures under a random environment, respectively. As examples, we also discuss the connections of the introduced conditional coherent risk measures under random environments with two existing risk measures. This paper mainly gives some theoretical results, and it is expected to make meaningful complement to the study of coherent and convex risk measures under model uncertainty. Full article
