Simulation and estimation: efficient simulation of multivariate models, econometrics of jump processes, realized volatility/ bi-power variation. Partial integro-differential equations (PIDEs) and computational methods Inverse problems: theory and algorithms for inverse problems related to option pricing models with jumps. New modeling approaches: Markov processes with jumps, models for electricity prices, interest rate models with jumps and their efficient analytical and numerical treatment * DEADLINE for submission of abstracts: JUNE 15, 2006 * DEADLINE for registration: AUGUST 1, 2006.
