July 7 - July 18, 2014 Bielefeld University Room: V2.210 The Summer School aims to introduce doctoral students to the latest developments in decision theory, economics, and mathematical finance with a special focus on Knightian or model uncertainty. Model uncertainty is of eminent importance when one applies mathematical models to economic environments as the financial crisis starting in 2008-09 has made clear. The robustness of decisions plays an important part in sound risk management of banks and other financial institutions. The summer school develops the required mathematical and economic tools to deal with these issues properly. Organizers: Frank Riedel, Claudia Köhler |
