Since Markowitz’s portfolio selection theory in 1950s, statistics and mathematics have been applied in finance and investment management. Lots of empirical studies showed that historical data analysis using proper mathematical models helped to test financial and economical theory, and improve investment performance in practice as well. Since the appearance of Black-Scholes model for pricing option, mathematics, information technology and finance have tended to infuse.
The nature of complexity of financial instruments requires more sophisticated mathematical models and computer tools to extract information about risk and return from noisy data. Quantitative finance is a cross-disciplinary field relies on mathematical finance, intelligent methods and computer simulations to make trading, hedging and investment decisions, as well as facilitating the risk management of those decisions.
This special workshop tends to promote the research interests both in academic community and industrial community in the connection of (i) mathematics and statistics, (ii) information technology, (iii) finance and economics.
