"An Argument for Positive Nominal Interest"
In a dynamic economy, such as an economy of overlapping generations,
money provides liquidity and is dominated as a store of value. A
central bank that sets the nominal rate of interest and distributes
its profit to shareholders as dividends is traded on the asset market.
Nominal rates of interest that tend to zero, but do not vanish,
eliminate equilibrium allocations that do not converge to a Pareto
optimal allocation.

A Short Introduction to Rough Paths and Applications to Numerical Analysis
A short introduction to Rough Paths will allow us to present the algorithm
"Cubature on Wiener space", which offers a new way of approximating weakly
SDEs. The method consists of replacing the Wiener measure by a linear
combination of Dirac measures, which means that our solution is approximated
by a weighted average of solution of ordinary differential equations. We
give some applications to Option pricing.

Subject: Position available
Dear Colleague
The Mathematical Finance Group at Oxford has just advertised a
postdoctoral research position in Mathematical Finance, the Nomura Junior
Research Fellowship. It consists of a postdoctoral position in the Nomura
Centre for Quantitative Finance (www.maths.ox.ac/ociam/ncqf) within the
Mathematics Department, combined with a Junior Research fellowship at
Wadham College, and is funded by a generous benefaction from the Nomura
group. The Fellow will be expected to carry out research in mathematical
finance, and will have many opportunities to interact with researchers at
Nomura's London offices. The post is for two years, renewable for a third.
We aim to make a high-level appointment and would be grateful if you would
bring this opportunity to the attention of any suitable candidates.
Further details are on

Subject: Announcement: IME 2005, Québec
Dear colleague,
The École d'actuariat of Université Laval will host the 9th
International Congress on Insurance: Mathematics and Economics on July
6-8, 2005. The Congress will feature invited talks by Andrew Cairns
(Heriot-Watt University, Scotland), Jan Dhaene (Katholieke
Universiteit Leuven, Belgium) and Gordon Willmot (University of
Waterloo, Canada).
Prior to the Congress, the École d'actuariat also hosts two days of
Short Courses of six hours each on two different topics. In one
course, Jan Beirlant (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium) will
speak on "Extreme Value Analysis and Applications to Reinsurance". In
the other course, Gordon Willmot (University of Waterloo, Canada)
will speak on the "Analysis of the Insurer's Surplus and Related
Quantities". These courses should appeal to researchers and
practitioners alike.
Over the past eight years, the IME Congress has established itself as
one of the main actuarial conferences worldwide. The Congress provides
researchers --- actuaries and non-actuaries --- with the opportunity
to present their latest work in the general area of Actuarial Science.
Topics covered are relevant to the aims and scope of the
international journal "Insurance: Mathematics and Economics". More
information is available in the attached Call for Papers.
In 2005, the Congress and Short Courses will be held in historic
Québec during the lively International Summer Festival. The old
quarter of Québec was declared a world heritage site by UNESCO in
1985. This is the only fortified city in North America. The host of
the Congress, École d'actuariat, distinguishes itself by its
comprehensive specialized degree in Actuarial Science. The ten Faculty
members are active in fields of Actuarial Science such as Risk Theory,
Life and Non-Life Insurance, and Pension Mathematics. The École
d'actuariat also hosted the 36th Actuarial Research Conference in
2001.
For registration in the Congress and all related information, see the
web site
http://ime2005.ulaval.ca/
We look forward to seeing you in Québec next summer!
