The assessment of risk based on historical data faces many challenges, in particular due to the limited amount of available data, lack of stationarity, and heavy tails.

In this setting, we describe conditional dependence by means of copulas and illustrate how the ${Q}\mathscr{P}$-evaluation can be used for the pricing of hybrid insurance products.

In this work we consider one-dimensional generalized affine processes under the paradigm of Knightian uncertainty (so-called non-linear generalized affine models).

Estimating value-at-risk on time series data with possibly heteroscedastic dynamics is a highly challenging task.

Overnight rates, such as the SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) in the US, are central to the current reform of interest rate benchmarks.

While the estimation of risk is an important question in the daily business of banking and insurance, many existing plug-in estimation procedures suffer from an unnecessary bias.

We study pricing and hedging under parameter uncertainty for a class of Markov processes which we call generalized affine processes and which includes the Black-Scholes model as well as the constant elasticity of variance (CEV) model as special cases.

Inspired by recent advances that allow to combine deep learning with dynamic modeling, we investigate whether such approaches can be useful for uncovering complex structure, in particular for an extreme small data setting with only two observations time points for each individual.

While the {estimation} of risk is an important question in the daily business of banking and insurance, many existing plug-in estimation procedures suffer from an unnecessary bias.

Most insurance contracts are inherently linked to financial markets, be it via interest rates, or -- as hybrid products like equity-linked life insurance and variable annuities -- directly to stocks or indices.

We find very good results for the single curve markets and many challenges for the multi curve markets in a Vasicek framework.

Generalized statistical arbitrage concepts are introduced corresponding to trading strategies which yield positive gains on average in a class of scenarios rather than almost surely.
