Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

At present, the global economic and financial landscape is undergoing profound changes. The global financial crisis, COVID-19, war, and various disasters around the world have made the financial market more uncertain, and the global financial market is experiencing new models and changes. The deepening of the uncertainty of the financial market requires the academic circle to conduct profound research and theoretical exploration of the financial market and put forward new requirements for the mathematical model research in financial economics in order to improve the understanding of the financial market and financial institutions. Under uncertainty, mathematical modelling in financial economics involves the use of mathematical techniques to analyse risk evaluation, price securities, and the allocative efficiency of the market; estimate the potential impacts of events and policy on the market; and make informed investment decisions. It covers mathematical modelling topics in financial economics, such as probability and statistics, stochastic analysis, partial differential equations, numerical computation, financial econometrics, AI, and big data models.

The primary aim of this Special Issue is to bring together original research discussing innovative efforts on mathematical modelling in financial economics. Submissions showcasing the latest developments in theoretical analysis models, numerical modelling and computation, AI, and big data methods are welcome.

The application of digital inclusive finance in various industries, particularly in rural areas, is gaining significant attention. The traditional agricultural sector, which focuses on rural labor economics (RLE), is more sensitive to financial innovations due to geographical and other constraints. This paper investigates how digital inclusive finance affects RLE by integrating the Improved Gravitational Search Algorithm Random Forest (IGSA-RF) with the Gini coefficient, Out-of-Bag (OOB) coefficient, and the Gini-OOB coupling coefficient. Focusing on Jiangsu Province, China, this study uses rural labor economic indicators to examine the underlying influence mechanisms of digital finance on labor dynamics in rural regions. The findings suggest that (1) digital inclusive finance has a long-term positive impact on consumption, gross regional product, and the average wage index of rural workers; (2) there is a growing trend in agricultural machinery power over time. However, the study found that gender, age, and the development of labor-intensive industries did not show significant improvement. The study provides a data-driven framework for understanding and enhancing rural labor development through digital financial innovation. Full article
