Overview

The scientific exchange between mathematicians, statisticians and econometricians working in actuarial sciences and finance is improving the research on these topics and producing numerous meaningful scientific results. This volume includes a selection of papers presented at the Workshop New perspectives in Mathematical and Statistical Methods for Actuarial Sciences and Finance.  The workshop was a two-day study activity aimed at presenting new ideas and innovative lines of research in mathematical and statistical methods for insurance and finance, both from a theoretical and applied point of view. It was organized by the Department of Economics and Statistics of the University of Salerno and was held from 27 to 28 June 2025 in Salerno (Italy). This book covers a wide variety of subjects, among others: Social well-being, Artificial intelligence and Machine learning in Insurance and Finance, Silver Economy and Insurance, Climate-related Risks and Insurance, Insurtech and Fintech, Catastrophe Risks, Cyber Risk. This volume is a valuable resource for academics, PhD students, practitioners, professional and researchers. Moreover, it is also of interest to other readers with quantitative background knowledge.
