We   welcome   papers   from   financial  and   business historians, but also from historians of social sciences, especially  actuarial  historians.  Papers  should  cover aspects of the emergence of modern risk management in  insurane and banking from the 1950s until today. Special focus can be put, respectively, on:

•      the role of actuaries, regulators and practitioners;

•      the emergence of program trading and the impact of computerisation;

•      comparative studies of modern risk management in insurance and banking;

•      normative  and  positivist  financial  theories  and their impact on risk behaviour;

•      the convergence of underwriting risk and capital management in insurance and simulations such as Dynamic Financial Analysis (DFA);

•      insufficiencies in modelling techniques.

Paper proposals (not exceeding one page) and a recent CV should be sent until1 September 2013 to: info@bankinghistory.de
