Riassunto

This volume collects a selection of refereed papers of the more than one hundred presented at the InternationalConference MAF 2008 Mathematicaland Statistical Methods for Actuarial Sciences and Finance. The conference was organised by the Department of Applied Mathematics and theDepartment ofStatisticsoftheUniversityCa Foscari Venice(Italy),withthec- laborationofthe Department ofEconomics and StatisticalSciences ofthe University ofSalerno(Italy).Itwas heldinVenice, fromMarch 26to28,2008,attheprestigious CavalliFranchettipalace, alongGrand Canal,oftheIstitutoVenetodiScienze,Lettere ed Arti. This conference was the ?rst international edition of a biennial national series begunin2004,whichwas bornof thebrilliantbeliefofthe colleagues and friends oftheDepartmentofEconomicsandStatisticalSciences oftheUniversityofSalerno: the idea following which the cooperation between mathematicians and statisticians in working in actuarial sciences, in insurance and in ?nance can improve research on these topics. The proof of this consists in the wide participation in these events. In particular, with reference to the 2008 internationaledition: More than 150 attendants, both academicians and practitioners; More than 100 accepted communications, organised in 26 parallel sessions, from authors coming from about twenty countries (namely: Canada, Colombia, Czech Republic,France, Germany, Great Britain,Greece, Hungary,Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, USA); two plenary guest-organised sessions; and aprestigiouskeynotelecturedeliveredbyProfessorWolfgangHa ¨rdleoftheH- boldt Universityof Berlin (Germany).

Dalla quarta di copertina

The interaction between mathematicians and statisticians reveals to be an effective approach for dealing with actuarial, insurance and financial problems, both in an academic and in an operative perspective. The international conference MAF 2008, held at the University Ca Foscari of Venezia (Italy) in 2008, had precisely this purpose, and the collection here published gathers a selection of about the one hundred papers presented at the conference and successively referred and reviewed to this aim. They cover a wide variety of subjects in actuarial, insurance and financial fields, all treated in light of the successful cooperation between the two quantitative approaches.
