proposta di Gruppo UMI
by Antonio DI CRESCENZO 19 Apr '20

19 Apr '20

Gent.mi, nel recente passato, nei convegni "Italian Meeting on Probability and Mathematical Statistics", tenuti a Torino (2017) e Vietri sul Mare (2019), è emersa un'esigenza sentita e condivisa da molti di creare un organismo che possa raccogliere anche in modo istituzionalizzato le energie della comunità con interessi in ambito probabilistico e statistico. Un'ottima opportunità per realizzare tale progetto è emersa di recente, in quanto l'Unione Matematica Italiana ha aperto un bando per la creazione dei *Gruppi UMI* (cf. https://umi.dm.unibo.it/gruppi-umi/) A tale scopo, seguendo le linee del bando, è stata predisposta una proposta di istituzione di un Gruppo UMI, con l'intento di promuovere in modo coordinato attività di ricerca, didattiche e di terza missione inerenti discipline legate a temi stocastici. La proposta è stata formulata con l'aiuto di membri del Comitato Scientifico della prossima edizione del convegno, che si terrà a Bologna nel 2021 (cf. https://site.unibo.it/probstat/en) ad anche con l'apporto di diverse persone interessate. Una sintesi dei punti presenti nella richiesta è riportata in fondo alla mail. Per ricevere informazioni più dettagliate potete inviare una email a prisma.umi(a)gmail.com La proposta deve pervenire all'UMI entro il *30 aprile*, corredata dall'elenco di almeno *15 proponenti* (*iscritti all'UMI*). Per dare maggiore peso alla richiesta è opportuno avere un elevato numero di proponenti. Sperando che la proposta riscuota consenso, invito con piacere gli interessati a dare la disponibilità ad essere inseriti nell'elenco dei proponenti (scrivendo a: prisma.umi(a)gmail.com) Coloro che non sono soci possono comunque effettuare l'iscrizione all'UMI (cf. https://umi.dm.unibo.it/area-soci/associarsi/) per poter poi divenire proponenti del Gruppo. Vi ringrazio molto per l'attenzione, confidando della vostra collaborazione, e vi saluto con l'augurio che si possa superare al meglio l'emergenza epidemiologica in atto, Antonio Di Crescenzo =========================== DESCRIZIONE SINTETICA: Le attività del Gruppo avranno connotazione interdisciplinare coinvolgente varie aree della matematica anche in vista di ricadute in vari ambiti culturali e scientifici. Mantenendo l’attenzione agli sviluppi della probabilità e della statistica matematica lungo le molte direzioni che dominano la scena internazionale, esse promuoveremo anche l’interazione con settori attuali ed emergenti, con particolare riferimento allo sviluppo di metodi formali e strumenti probabilistici e statistici in diversi ambiti. Le attività si suddividono in - attività di ricerca (organizzazione di un convegno scientifico biennale e di mini-workshop su temi emergenti, coordinamento di seminari e corsi di dottorato, database aggiornato delle iniziative scientifiche, ...) - attività d’insegnamento (censimento di attività didattiche universitarie su temi stocastici, promozione di attività didattiche su temi stocastici a livello universitario e per la didattica della probabilità nella scuola, anche in collaborazione col Piano Nazionale Lauree Scientifiche per la Matematica, ...) - divulgazione dei risultati (attraverso convegni, canali istituzionali, ...) - interazione con vari settori della scienza e della società (incontri scientifici su temi stocastici della matematica industriale, incontri con attori dell’economia e delle istituzioni per public engagement, ...) -- ============================================= Antonio Di Crescenzo Dipartimento di Matematica Università degli Studi di Salerno Via Giovanni Paolo II, n. 132 <https://maps.google.com/?q=Via+Giovanni+Paolo+II,+n.+132+%0D%0A84084+Fiscia…> 84084 Fisciano (SA) Italy Tel. +39-089-963349 Fax: +39-089-963303 E-mail(1): adicrescenzo(a)unisa.it E-mail(2): adicresc(a)gmail.com Web: http://www.unisa.it/docenti/antoniodicrescenzo/index Skype: antoniodicrescenzo =============================================

International Conference in Venice - CALL FOR PAPERS
by Monica Billio 17 Apr '20

17 Apr '20

CREDIT2020 <http://www.greta.it/credit/credit2020/credit2020.htm> *GRETA Associati* (Venice, Italy), *Cattolica Assicurazioni *(Verona, Italy), *CRIF* (Bologna, Italy), *European Investment* *Fund *(Luxembourg), *European Investment Bank* (Luxembourg) and*Intesa Sanpaolo *(Milan, Italy) are co-sponsors of a Conference to be held in Venice on September 24-25, 2020. The objective of the Conference is to bring together academics, practitioners and PhD students working in the area of risk management. The conference will provide an opportunity for participants engaged in research at the forefront of this area to discuss both the causes and implications of recent financial and climate-related events and may, in turn, suggest fruitful and policy-relevant directions for future research. The Conference, organised under the auspices of the *Department of Economics of the University Ca’ Foscari of Venice*, *ABI - Italian Banking Association*, *AIAF - Associazione Italiana per l'Analisi Finanziaria* and the *Joint Research Center*, *European Commission* (Ispra, Italy), is the *nineteenth *of a series dedicated to various aspects of credit risk. /The UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the adoption of European Commission’s Action Plan on Sustainable Finance mark important international commitments to the objective of a more sustainable economy and society. However, their successful implementation is tightly related to the scaling up of low-carbon investments and divestment from carbon-intensive investments. This, in turn, requires an assessment of the credit risks stemming from investors’ exposure to economic activities and assets that could be stranded by climate change. For instance, regulators’ discussion about the revision of capital requirements aimed to foster green investments (i.e. a green-supporting or a brown-penalising factor) is hampered by the unclear understanding of the implications of a regulatory change on individual institutions and systemic financial risk. Thus, financing the low-carbon transition is primarily a discussion about credit risk./ /The financial sector, and in particular the banking and insurance industries need to develop new portfolios’ risk management strategies and to adjust their credit allocation practices to cope with the opportunities and challenges of the low-carbon transition in the economy and finance. All these changes call for a substantial amount of research to improve the knowledge of the mechanisms at play and to design tailored and effective policy tools./// // // // The organizers encourage submissions of papers on any topic within the overall theme of the conference and in the following areas in particular: * INVESTMENTS: Green Finance, Investments Principles, Real Estate Sustainability, Finance for Good; * POLICIES: Climate Policies, Climate Financial Risk; European Green New Deal, Social Sustainability * INFORMATION: Non Financial Disclosure, Climate risk disclosure, ESG Ratings, ESG Taxonomies The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received so far from invited speakers include *Marina Brogi* (Sapienza University of Rome) and *Andrew W. Lo *(MIT Sloan School of Management). The Conference will also feature panel discussions on researchers', practitioners' and policy makers’ views of the major issues at stake for embedding climate into credit risk. The Scientific Committee consists of: *Monica Billio *(Ca’ Foscari University of Venice & GRETA, Programme Chair)* Marina Brogi *(Sapienza University of Rome)* Francesca Campolongo* (Joint Research Center, European Commission)* Helmut Kraemer-Eis* (European Investment Fund)* Rainer Haselmann* (Goethe University, Frankfurt)* Irene Monasterolo* (Vienna University of Economics and Business)* Steven Ongena *(University of Zurich, Swiss Finance Institute, KU Leuven & CEPR)* Roberto Rigobon* (MIT Sloan School of Management)* Stephen Schaefer* (London Business School)* * Sponsors** *GRETA* <http://www.greta.it/> Cattolica Assicurazioni <https://www.cattolica.it/home-corporate/> CRIF <https://www.crif.it/> European Investment Fund <https://www.eif.org/> European Investment Bank <https://www.eib.org/en/> *IntesaSanpaolo* <http://www.group.intesasanpaolo.com/scriptIsir0/si09/eng_index.jsp> Auspices** ** <http://www.abi.it/Pagine/default.aspx> *Ca' Foscari - Economics Department* <http://www.unive.it/pag/16892> *ABI* <http://www.abi.it/Pagine/default.aspx> ** <http://www.abi.it/Pagine/default.aspx> AIAF <https://www.aiaf.it/> *JCR - European Commission <https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en> * ** *CALL FOR PAPERS* **COVID-19 update: As of the time of this writing (Mid April 2020), the CREDIT 2020 Conference is still planned for September 24-25, 2020 in Venice, Italy.

Fwd: Call for abstracts OICA online conference, deadline April 13th, 2020
by Elena Vigna 03 Apr '20

03 Apr '20

-------- Messaggio Inoltrato -------- Oggetto: Call for abstracts OICA online conference, deadline April 13th, 2020 Data: Thu, 2 Apr 2020 22:11:30 +0000 Mittente: LOISEL STEPHANE <stephane.loisel(a)univ-lyon1.fr> A: LOISEL STEPHANE <stephane.loisel(a)univ-lyon1.fr> Dear RIANA colleagues and friends, Can you please forward this announcement to your network and encourage your colleagues and PhD students to submit abstracts and/or attend ? Thanks, Best, Stephane Dear Colleagues and Friends, We organise at the end of the month (April 28-29, 2020) an _online_ conference in actuarial science, data science and finance. Abstract submission deadline : April 13th, 2020. Scientific committee : Hansjoerg Albrecher (Lausanne), Katrien Antonio (Leuven), Benjamin Avanzi (Melbourne), Pauline Barrieu (LSE), Mercè Claramunt (Barcelona), Nicole El Karoui (Paris), Romuald Elie (Berkeley), Stéphane Loisel (ISFA, chair), Mogens Steffensen (Copenhagen), Ruodu Wang (Waterloo), Hailiang Yang (Hong-Kong U.) We hope that’ll be able to submit an abstract : http://oica.univ-lyon1.fr <http://oica.univ-lyon1.fr> Details about the purpose of the conference are below. Parallel session talks are 15mins long. Take care and stay safe, Stéphane Loisel PS Registration is free but compulsory. ** *About OICA Conference* /(Online International Conference in Actuarial science, data science and finance)/ Covid19 is going to change the financial markets and the insurance-reinsurance network. As actuarial science, data science and finance researchers, we cannot easily help for the current phase as we are not medical doctors or epidemiologists. But we can help to mitigate/manage the financial/risk management consequences by carrying out relevant research in 2020-2021. For this we need to learn NOW from experts and decision makers what the research challenges are. Therefore we are organising an online conference on April 28-29, 2020 with two goals : * Enabling researchers and young researchers to present actuarial / data science / financial research that was done before covid19 (therefore NOT related to covid19) * Having 1 or 2 roundtables that describe covid19 implications on the economy, and which help us to know which research topics we could investigate in the future if we want to help (WACA roundtables : What Actuaries Could Accomplish researchwise in 2020-21). We also planned (classical) plenary talks on topics that could be useful for post-covid research, as well as a quite different talk by José Blanchet about a social platform startup that he created in response to covid19 in US and Mexico and the associated data science future challenges. INVITED PLENARY SPEAKERS *Beatrice ACCIAIO */(LSE, London, United Kingdom)/** *José BLANCHET */(Stanford University, CA, USA)/ *Caroline HILLAIRET */(ENSAE, Paris, France)/ *Nora PANKRATZ */(UCLA, CA, USA)/ *Jae Kyung WOO */(UNSW, Sydney, Australia)/ ** To be clear, this event is NOT about presenting super-fast, opportunistic research on epidemiology produced by actuaries. It is about presenting classical actuarial/data science/finance research works that have been done before, and reflecting about how we can contribute researchwise for the future. As almost everyone is at home at that time, we think that the timing is possible. We’ll have sessions in the morning, lunch time and up to evening to accomodate participants in different locations. The roundtables will be held between 11am and 4pm French time to maximize audience (including Asia-Pacific and America). We hope that you’ll join us to this OICA-WACA conference and roundtable (please use French accent to sound like Shakira’s song) !
