     PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:


     Email PDF files by September 20, 2009, to:

     THE OBJECTIVES:


     To increase interaction between researchers on all
     continents who share an interest in issues related to
     households, risk and insurance:


     - Household finance
     - Households risk management
     - New households risks and new insurance products


     To bring together people from mathematics, economics and
     finance and to give young researchers an opportunity to
     present their research and get early feedback on their
     work.



     THE FORMAT:


     The plan is to select 8 papers maximum, with 30 minutes
     allocated for each presentation, 10 minutes for each
     discussion, and 10 minutes for questions from the audience.
     Discussions will be done by senior researchers.



     FUNDING:


     The organizers may cover travel (at the lowest costs) and
     accommodation expenses for the authors of selected papers
     (upon request and only one author by paper).



     PARTNERSHIP:


     This Workshop is sponsored by the GIP-ANR (Croyances
     project) as well as by the Risk Foundation (Groupama
     Chair).


     It is organized in partnership with the Journal:
     Mathematics and Financial Economics. All the members of the
     Editorial Board are invited and are expected to attend the
     workshop. A specific fast-track procedure will be proposed
     to authors of selected papers who want to submit the same
     paper to Mathematics and Financial Economics.



     ABOUT MATHEMATICS AND FINANCIAL ECONOMICS:

     In the last twenty years mathematical finance has developed
     independently from economic theory, and largely as a branch
     of probability theory and stochastic analysis. This has led
     to important developments e.g. in asset pricing theory, and
     interest-rate modeling. This direction of research however
     can be viewed as somewhat removed from real world
     considerations and increasingly many academics in the field
     agree over the necessity of returning to foundational
     economic issues. Mainstream finance on the other hand has
     often considered interesting economic problems, but finance
     journals typically pay less attention to the high-level
     quantitative approach. When quantitative methods useful to
     economists are developed by mathematicians and published in
     mathematical journals, they often remain unknown and
     confined to a very specific readership. More generally,
     there is a need for bridges between these disciplines. The
     aim of this new journal is to reconcile these two
     approaches and to provide the bridging links between
     mathematics, economics and finance. Typical areas of
     interest include foundational issues in asset pricing,
     financial markets equilibrium, insurance models, portfolio
     management, quantitative risk management, intertemporal
     economics, uncertainty and information in finance models.
