Abstract:
The objective of these lessons is to show that model risk, particularly financial model risk, is intrinsic to stochastic modelling, and that its analysis opens new challenging mathematical and numerical questions. We will also present recent results which concern strategies which, issued from the technical analysis, do not rely on a specific mathematical model and therefore are robust w.r.t model risk. Various theories will be used, such as statistics of random processes, stochastic control, Malliavin calculus, backward stochastic differential equations, viscosity solutions of nonlinear Partial Differential equations. However the course will be self-contained
