SUMMARY
Risk management is the technique of identifying, measuring, assessing, and handling risk addressed by diverse kinds of human activity. The objective of risk management is to reduce the risk to an acceptable level, defined by society or individuals. Risk reduction strategies depend often on several attributes, which leads to multivariate risk management. In multivariate setting, risk management treats different types and/or sources of risk and their impact as interacting with each other.
Risk management can be applied in such areas as mathematical statistics, reliability, operations research, biology, and physics, to name a few. Growing complexity of financial markets and traded instruments as well as stronger regulatory rules of the finance and insurance industry made multivariate risk management a topic of ultimate importance in finance, insurance, and economics. Typical examples of risk in finance are operational, credit and market risks.
The aim of the workshop is to bring together experts in multivariate risk management from different fields (finance, insurance, economics, reliability, biology, physics, etc) to find mutual interests, exchange ideas and expertise, and discuss possible common problems. The main focus of the workshop is on research methodology for multivariate risk management.
The workshop is organized in the framework of the “Multivariate Risk Modelling” project at EURANDOM.
An important aspect of the workshop is to create an arena to discuss the benefits and drawbacks of the different mathematical, statistical and computational approaches, principles and practice that underlies research in different branches of multivariate risk management. Therefore, speakers from different research fields are invited and each speaker is expected to give a talk followed by a discussion. There will be 15 contributed talks of 30 minutes including discussions.
The workshop is organised in connection with the coordinating meeting of the Joint European Project IB-JEP-25054-2004 "Training Centre for Actuaries and Financial Analysts" within the framework of the TEMPUS Programme (Trans-European Cooperation Scheme for Higher Education) financed by European Commission (Directorate-General for Education and Culture). The project consortium include: Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Kyiv National Taras Shevchenko University, Mälardalen University (project coordinator), State Commission for Regulation of Financial Services Markets in Ukraine, Stockholm University, Ukrainian Actuarial Society, University of Aegean, University of Cologne.
