About this Research Topic
The dramatic events following the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic have posed a number of challenges not only in healthcare, but also for financial markets. In this area, scholars and practitioners have mainly focused on issues of how to manage the financial risk. With the increasing globalization of markets, greater connections between a variety of sectors have fostered a propagation of risk, highlighting the need for advanced instruments or ad-hoc techniques to manage this emergency within financial markets.
This Research Topic aims to bring together contributions from both theoretical and applications-oriented research, with a focus on recent developments and techniques for the empirical analysis of financial risk, including the measurement and management of financial risk during pandemics. The primary goals are to address issues of risk management resulting from pandemics, to present a focus on new risk-management techniques tailored for extreme events, to analyze the relationships between risk and pandemic outbreaks, and to develop ad-hoc methodologies for portfolio management during pandemics.
This Research Topic welcomes and encourages the submission of high-quality papers focusing on either theoretical or empirical research on the management of financial markets during periods of emergency. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Portfolio management and optimization
- Risk management
- Commodity markets
- Cryptocurrency markets
- Hedging strategies
- Risk arbitrage
- Numerical aspects and software development to support risk management
- Big data analytics
- Financial data mining
- Machine learning
- Non-linear dynamics
