How to optimise tournament draws: The case of the FIFA World Cup
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract The organisers of major sports competitions use different policies with respect to constraints in the group draw. Our paper aims to rationalise these choices by analysing the trade‐off between attractiveness (the number of games played by teams from the same geographic zone) and fairness (the departure of the draw mechanism from a uniform ...

Cyber Risk Management: A New Challenge for Actuarial Mathematics
, 2018 A specific kind of insurance that is emerging within the domain of cyber-systems is that of cyber-insurance. It allows for transferring the residual risk associated with network and computer incidents to a third party. Insurance companies are increasingly offering such policies, in particular in the USA, but also in Europe. The emerging trends in cyber

Lee-Carter goes risk-neutral: an application to the Italian annuity market [PDF]
, 2005 We consider a class of stochastic intensities of mortality that generalizes the model proposed by Lee and Carter (1992), allowing general diffusions to drive the mortality time-trend.
