Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Motivated by recent developments in insurance and financial regulation, as well as by the need to better understand and manage the riskiness of insurance portfolios, this Special Issue (SI) focuses on the interplay between actuarial science and insurance economics. Particular emphasis is placed on the theory and applications of risk measures and their roles in capital allocation and risk sharing within both traditional and innovative market structures.
The contributions address a broad spectrum of topics ranging from classical reinsurance problems to new forms of risk transfer arising in Peer-to-Peer networks. By combining rigorous mathematical modeling with economically grounded analysis, the papers in this SI provide a comprehensive overview of current research on how risks are measured, priced, and redistributed in insurance markets. The aim of this SI is to offer a state-of-the-art perspective on these themes and to stimulate further research at the interface of actuarial modeling and economic design of risk-sharing mechanisms.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
