Mathematical-finance: Applications to Energy Markets, Risc Management and Pricing of Derivatives (2012)

Organizers: Fred Espen Benth (U. Oslo), PF Valery Kholodnyi (Verbund), Peter Laurence (U.Roma), Walter Schachermayer (WPI c/o U. Wien), OTPF Almut Veraart (Imperial College)

Events

Mini-Course: "Model risk in finance"

Location: WPI Seminar Room C 714
Time: 19. Jun 2013 (Wed) - 20. Jun 2013 (Thu); Opening: 10:00
Topics:
The objective of these lessons is to show that model risk, particularly financial model risk, is intrinsic to stochastic modelling, and that its analysis opens new challenging mathematical and numerical questions.
We will also present recent results which concern strategies which, issued from the technical analysis, do not rely on a specific mathematical model and therefore are robust w.r.t model risk.
Various theories will be used, such as statistics of random processes, stochastic control, Malliavin calculus, backward stochastic differential equations, viscosity solutions of nonlinear Partial Differential equations.
However the course will be self-contained

Mini-Course: "Numerical methods for Hamilton-Jacobi equations in mathematical finance"

Location: WPI Seminar Room C714
Time: 22. Jun 2012 (Fri) - 23. Jun 2012 (Sat); Opening: 9:00
Topics:
Many problems in finance can be posed as non-linear Hamilton Jacobi Bellman (HJB) Partial Integro Differential Equations (PIDEs). Examples of such problems include: dynamic asset allocation for pension plans, optimal operation of natural gas storage facilities, optimal execution of trades, and pricing of variable annuity products. (e.g. Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit). This course will discuss general numerical methods for solving the HJB PDEs which arise from these types of problems. After an introductory lecture, we will give an example where seemingly reasonable methods do not Course highlights: Day 1: (e.g. Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit).
