Columbia-JAFEE Conference 2015

The Columbia-JAFEE meetings began at Columbia in 1997 and have been alternating between taking place in Japan and New York ever since. This will be the 11th conference, and the Columbia Statistics Department is proud to host the JAFEE (Japanese Association of Financial Econometrics and Engineering) scholars on October 2 and 3, 2015. The topics range from probability, statistics and simulation to mathematical finance and actuarial science. Everyone is welcome.
