Chair 

Derivatives of the Future 


This Chair is held at the Applied Mathematics Department, Ecole Polytechnique, and is sponsored by the French Federation of Banks. There are two main components in this research project:  LES DERIVES DU FUTUR

- An up to date research activity on the risk management under market conditions outside the classical paradigm of the Black-Scholes model. The main focus of our team is on market illiquidity, and new financial markets as longevity derivatives and environemental financial instruments.

- An advanced PhD project at the European level centered around the SMAI European Summer School in Financial Mathematics.
