| Sept. 19 | SAMSI: Finance | The goal of the opening workshop is to initiate discussion focused on identifying avenues of areas of research in financial mathematics, statistics and econometrics, including models of risk and uncertainty, extreme events; equity, credit, and energy markets; computational and practitioners issues, portfolio optimization. A prominent theme throughout both the workshop and program will be the necessity of exploiting the natural synergy between areas of financial mathematics, statistics and econometrics. | ||
