Impact of the Coronavirus Crisis on Insurance and Financial Mathematics and Risk Analysis

Dear Colleagues,

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic is bound to have an influence on insurance and financial mathematics. One obvious effect is that the independence assumptions in many models used are no longer valid. New models will be needed for assessing the impact of the pandemic in insurance, finance, and related fields. The purpose of this Issue is for researchers to propose stochastic models describing this impact. Papers that involve point processes or small Monte Carlo simulation studies are particularly welcome. Papers that propose novel stochastic models for the spread of the pandemic are also welcome.
