Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Specialty line insurance addresses complex and emerging risks that extend beyond conventional property-casualty products. These include cyber, political, marine, aviation, energy, and catastrophe-linked covers, areas increasingly critical in an interconnected global economy. The growing exposure to technological disruption, geopolitical instability, and environmental extremes highlights the need for robust quantitative methods to evaluate, price, and manage such risks.
This Special Issue seeks contributions that advance theoretical and applied understanding of specialty line insurance, emphasizing actuarial, financial, and stochastic modeling and other mathematical perspectives. Papers focusing on innovative methodologies, simulation, data analytics, or novel modeling approaches are particularly encouraged.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Modeling and pricing of complex and emerging risks;
- Examples are cyber, marine, energy, political risk modeling, climate, energy, and environmental liability insurance;
- Systemic and catastrophe risk assessment;
- Reinsurance structures and solvency implications;
- Extreme-event modeling.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. 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. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
