SUMMARY
The workshop focuses on the theoretically interesting and important topic: risk measures and risk management. The workshop will bring together 30-40 leading and/or young researchers from academia and from practice. Topics that will be discussed are
· Axiomatic aspects: General desirable properties of risk measures such as coherence, convexity, and consistency.
· Performance of specific risk measures such as Value-at-risk, expected shortfall, volatility.
· Applications of risk measures in (re-) insurance and finance, portfolio optimization
· Computational and statistical aspects: Practical determination and estimation of risk measures
· Credit risk
· Interest risk and interest rate models
Risk and risk management are the most important concerns for financial institutions and insurance companies. Regulators and managers of financial institutions are interested in developing appropriate risk measures for dealing with complex portfolios. Recently, considerable interesting work in this area has been done in both finance and actuarial science. It is obvious that closer contact and discussions between these two groups will be beneficial to all researchers as well as to the society.
A first special feature of this workshop is that it brings together experts from financial engineering with academics specialized in actuarial science. It is our sincere hope that this workshop will shed light on the intricate interplay between actuarial science and finance. Another is that - apart from a large number of leading experts worldwide - we have made a special effort to involve a fair number of young and promising researchers.
We believe that with this synergetic effort, the workshop will be able to provide sound theoretical results as well as a feasible empirical testing framework. The gathering will definitely contribute to the development of financial and insurance risk management in a significant way.
