Advances in Mathematical Finance and Insurance

Dear Colleagues,

Over the past few decades or so, we have witnessed many important and exciting developments in mathematical finance and insurance. These developments were enlightened and flourished by advancements in probability theory, stochastic analysis, mathematical statistics, finance and economic theories. Novel results in mathematical finance and insurance not only establish solid and rigorous theoretical foundations to justify and transform some practices in the finance and insurance industries but also provide important impetus and new avenues for advancing probability theory and stochastic analysis. With the advancements of computing technologies and data science, the field of mathematical finance and insurance is entering a new era in which modern techniques and technologies such as deep learning, large language models, and generative models are becoming more widely employed. Armed with these new and emerging technologies, new and potentially unlimited research opportunities are awaiting future exploration. On the other hand, emerging topics such as climate risk, energy risk, fintech and cyber risk provide novel and exciting avenues for advancing mathematical finance and insurance. Radically new theories in mathematical finance and insurance may be required to establish solid foundations to address challenges in these emerging topics.

The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a platform to communicate novel and exciting research results which are relevant to advancing the fields of mathematical finance and insurance. We welcome colleagues and researchers from both academia and industry to share their latest, high-quality, and cutting-edge research work in this field. All areas of mathematical finance and insurance are welcome.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Mathematics.

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. Risks is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs).
