In this work, we consider Corporate Governance (CG) ties among companies from a multiple network perspective. Such a structure naturally arises from the close interrelation between the Shareholding Network (SH) and the Board of Directors network (BD). In order to capture the simultaneous effects...

This paper focuses on weather derivatives as efficient risk management instruments and proposes a more advanced approach for their pricing. An "hybrid" contract is introduced, combining insurance properties, specifically tailored for the region under study and introducing Value-at-Risk (VaR) and...

Opinions and beliefs determine the evolution of social systems. This is of particular interest in finance, as the increasing complexity of financial systems is coupled with information overload. Opinion formation, therefore, is not always the result of optimal information processing. On the...

We introduce a dynamical model for the time evolution of probability density functions incorporating uncertainty in the parameters. The uncertainty follows stochastic processes, thereby defining a new class of stochastic processes with values in the space of probability densities. The purpose is...

South Sudan is the youngest state in the world. Yet, since its independence, several shocks and crises brought food security to the edge of collapse. Both humanitarian and development agencies have adopted multisector interventions to enhance resilience. This paper provides data-driven evidence...

Principal component approaches are often used in the construction of composite indicators to summarize the information of input variables. The gain of dimension reductioncomes at the cost of difficulties in interpretation, inaccurate targeting, and possible conflicts with the theoretical...
