A Probability Metrics Approach to Financial Risk Measures
relates the field of probability metrics and risk measures to one
another and applies them to finance for the first time.
* Helps to answer the question: which risk measure is best for a
given problem?
* Finds new relations between existing classes of risk
measures
* Describes applications in finance and extends them where
possible
* Presents the theory of probability metrics in a more accessible
form which would be appropriate for non-specialists in the
field
* Applications include optimal portfolio choice, risk theory, and
numerical methods in finance
* Topics requiring more mathematical rigor and detail are
included in technical appendices to chapters
