Dear all,

we are glad to inform you that submissions for the Special Issue "Stochastic Optimization Methods in Economics, Finance and Insurance" on Mathematics (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/mathematics) are open.

The following is the official website: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/mathematics/sections/financial_mathematics

Research articles, reviews, communications and concept papers will be considered.

The deadline is now postponed to 30 April 2021.

Since Mathematics is an open access journal, there is a fee (1200 CHF) to be paid at acceptance.

Short description of the Special Issue:

Stochastic optimization finds numerous and various applications in economics, finance and insurance. Among these, we may cite optimal portfolio selection, optimal reinsurance and investment problems, utility maximization and application to valuation of financial and insurance derivatives, optimal management of pension fund and public debt, risk measures. This Special Issue aims at collecting original research papers or comprehensive reviews on the theory and applications of dynamic stochastic optimization in economics, finance and insurance. Advanced mathematical tools have been employed to handle with these problems including viscosity solutions approach, martingale methods, backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs), partial differential equations (PDEs), convex duality, filtering techniques and various numerical methods. Applications different from stochastic optimization will be possibly considered.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Please apologize for cross-posting.
