Probability, Finance And Insurance: Proceedings Of The Workshop, The University of Hong Kong 15-17 July 2002

This book presents the most recent developments in probability, finance and actuarial sciences, especially in Chinese probability research.

With contributions by leading authorities on probability theory — particularly limit theory and large derivations, valuation of credit derivatives, portfolio selection, dynamic protection and ruin theory — it is an essential source of ideas and information for graduate students and researchers in probability theory, mathematical finance and actuarial sciences, and thus every university should acquire a copy.
