The collection of original papers presented in this volume pursues precisely this purpose. It covers a wide variety of subjects in actuarial, insurance and ?nance ?elds, all treated in the light of the successful cooperation between the above two quantitative approaches. The papers published in this volume present theoretical and methodological contributions and their applications to real contexts. With respect to the theoretical and methodological contributions, some of the considered areas of investigation are: actuarial models; alternative testing approaches; behavioral ?nance; clustering techniques; coherent and non-coherent risk measures; credit scoring approaches; data envelopment analysis; dynamic stochastic programming; ?nancial contagion models; ?nancial ratios; intelligent ?nancial trading systems; mixture normality approaches; Monte Carlo-based methods; multicriteria methods; nonlinear parameter estimation techniques; nonlinear threshold models; particle swarm optimization; performance measures; portfolio optimization; pricing methods for structured and non-structured derivatives; risk management; skewed distribution analysis; solvency analysis; stochastic actuarial valuation methods; variable selection models; time series analysis tools. As regards the applications, they are related to real problems associated, among the others, to: banks; collateralized fund obligations; credit portfolios; de?ned bene?t pension plans; double-indexed pension annuities; ef?cient-market hypothesis; exchange markets; ?nancial time series; ?rms; hedge funds; non-life insurance companies; returns distributions; socially responsible mutual funds; unit-linked contracts. This book is aimed at academics, Ph.D. students, practitioners, professionals and researchers. But it will also be of interest to readers with some quantitative background knowledge. 606 $aEconomics, Mathematical  606 $aActuarial science 606 $aStatistics  606 $aFinance 606 $aMacroeconomics 606 $aQuantitative Finance$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13062 606 $aActuarial Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13080 606 $aStatistics for Business, Management, Economics, Finance, Insurance$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/S17010 606 $aFinance, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/600000 606 $aMacroeconomics/Monetary Economics//Financial Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W32000 615 0$aEconomics, Mathematical . 615 0$aActuarial science. 615 0$aStatistics . 615 0$aFinance. 615 0$aMacroeconomics. 615 14$aQuantitative Finance. 615 24$aActuarial Sciences. 615 24$aStatistics for Business, Management, Economics, Finance, Insurance. 615 24$aFinance, general. 615 24$aMacroeconomics/Monetary Economics//Financial Economics. 676 $a368.01 676 $a368/.01 702 $aCorazza$b Marco$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aPizzi$b Claudio$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299969003321 996 $aMathematical and statistical methods for actuarial sciences and finance (MAF 2014)$92983446 997 $aUNINA
