Ecole CEA EDF Inria - Systemic Risk and Quantitative Risk Management

Objectives

Since the crisis of 2008, there has been a critical reorientation of research priorities in quantitative finance with emphasis on risk.

The recent crisis, and in particular the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy and its consequences, has underlined a systemic risk due to the strong interdependencies of financial institutions. The failure of one of them can cause a cascade of failures, thus affecting the global stability of the system. Better understanding of these interlinkage phenomena becomes crucial.

The school aims at presenting the various approaches that have been developed to model this risk such as random graphs and mean field diffusion models. The tutorial and the lectures given by the academics will be complemented by a presentation of a practitioner in charge of counterparty risk.

On the other hand, the question of the quantification of the risk induced by a portfolio of financial instruments has motivated an intense research activity among practitioners and academics in the last ten years. The theory of risk measures has emerged as one of the seminal topics in quantitative finance. The second objective of the school is to give a pedagogical presentation of this theory.
