FAM @ TU Wien: 2 day workshop for students & practitioneers (in german)
2-tägiger Workshop:
"Praxis der Finanz- und Versicherungsmathematik 2010"
http://www.fam.tuwien.ac.at/events/praxisFVM2010/
Ort: Technische Universität Wien
Hörsaal: EI 4 "Reithoffer"
Gußhausstraße 25, Stiege VIII (Hauptstiege), 2. Stock
Zeit: Montag, 1. März 2010 - Dienstag, 2. März 2010,
jeweils 9.00-17.00 Uhr
Ziel dieses Workshops bzw. dieser Block-Lehrveranstaltung ist das
Kennenlernen des wirtschaftlichen, rechtlichen und praktischen Umfeldes
eines Mathematikers in der Finanz- und Versicherungsbranche.
Dazu finden in einem ersten Block Vorträge von Vertretern der
Aktuarvereinigungen, der Finanzmarktaufsicht, der Nationalbank etc.
statt, um das organisatorische und aufsichtsrechtliche Umfeld (v.a. aus
Sicht von Mathematikern) vorzustellen. In einem zweiten Block sprechen
Absolventen der Mathematik über ihren Tätigkeitsbereich in der Praxis
der Versicherungswirtschaft sowie der Finanzbranche und stellen aktuelle
praktische Problemstellungen vor.
Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos. Aktuare können bei dieser Veranstaltung
CPD-Punkte für ihre Weiterbildung sammeln.
Eine Anmeldung ist erforderlich! Info auf der Webseite:

Abstract of P. Cheridito's talk:
"Processes of class Sigma, last passage times and drawdowns"
(joint work with Ashkan Nikeghbali and Eckhard Platen)
We propose a general framework to study last passage times, suprema and
drawdowns of a large class of stochastic processes. A central role in
our approach is played by processes of class Sigma. After investigating
convergence properties and a family of transformations that leave
processes of class Sigma invariant, we provide three general
representation results. The first one allows one to recover a process of
class Sigma from its final value and the last time it visited the
origin. In many situations this gives access to the distribution of the
last time a stochastic process hit a certain level or was equal to its
running maximum. It also leads to a formula recently discovered by
Madan, Roynette and Yor expressing put option prices in terms of last
passage times. Our second representation result is a stochastic integral
representation of certain functionals of processes of class Sigma, and
the third one gives a formula for their conditional expectations. From
the latter one can deduce the laws of a variety of interesting random
variables such as running maxima, drawdowns and maximum drawdowns of
suitably stopped processes. As an application we discuss the pricing and
hedging of options that depend on the running maximum of an underlying
price process and are triggered when the underlying drops to a given
level or alternatively, when the drawdown or relative drawdown of the
underlying attains a given height.
