Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
About the Project
Based on the extreme value analysis theory, this project will build some widely recognized risk models, discuss the relevant financial risk measurement indices, and analyze the calculation and properties of these indices. Further data analysis will also be carried out in this project. We expect this research would be beneficial to both financial practitioners and theoretical experts focusing on risk management and extreme value statistics.
