Risk Analysis in Finance and Insurance, Third Edition presents an accessible yet comprehensive introduction to the main concepts and methods that transform risk management into a quantitative science. Considering the interdisciplinary nature of risk analysis, the author discusses many important ideas from stochastic analysis, mathematical finance and actuarial science in a simplified manner. He explores the interconnections among these disciplines and encourages readers toward further study of the subject. This edition continues to study risks associated with financial and insurance contracts, using an approach that estimates the value of future payments based on current financial, insurance, and other information.

Features of the third edition

Option pricing in the Bachelier model, the model of Black and Scholes, the Gram-Charlier model.
