Tail Risk Analysis and Management

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to announce this Special Issue on Tail Risk Analysis and Management.

Understanding and managing tail risks have become increasingly critical in today's complex and interconnected world. These low-frequency yet high-severity events can jeopardize business solvency, cause large-scale defaults, trigger systemic crises, and have far-reaching economic impacts, rendering their study both timely and imperative. This Special Issue aims to delve into the challenges associated with modeling, measuring, and managing tail risks.

We cordially invite submissions of original research that either tackles the theoretical and methodological aspects of tail risk analysis or seeks empirical evidence pertaining to tail risks. The scope of the tail risks under consideration may range from specific—including financial risks, such as insolvency and credit default, and natural hazards, such as floods, hurricanes, and wildfires—to more general forms of tail risk. Research aimed at devising tools for studying tail events, such as efficient simulation techniques, is also highly desirable. Contributions with applications in insurance, finance, and economics are especially encouraged.

For submission guidelines and more information, please visit our website or contact the Special Issue Editors.
