Modeling, Analysis, and Optimization for Mathematical Finance, Economics, and Risks is a critical domain that integrates mathematical theory with practical applications to address the complexities of modern financial and economic systems. This special issue focuses on recent studies that are...

Dybvig ( 1988a , 1988b ) solves in a complete market setting the problem of finding a payoff that is cheapest possible in reaching a given target distribution (“cost-efficient payoff”). In the presence of ambiguity, the distribution of a payoff is, however, no longer known with certainty. We...

This paper is concerned with the estimation of forecast error, particularly in relation to insurance loss reserving. Forecast error is generally regarded as consisting of three components, namely parameter, process and model errors. The first two of these components, and their estimation, are...

This paper discusses ambiguity in the context of single-name credit risk. We focus on uncertainty on the default intensity but also discuss uncertainty on the recovery in a fractional recovery of the market value. This approach is a first step towards integrating uncertainty in credit risky term...
