Preface
The chapters in this volume of the Springer Proceedings in Mathematics &
Statistics titled “Advances in Actuarial Sciences and Quantitative Finance” from
the proceedings of the First International Congress on Actuarial Science and
Quantitative Finance, which took place in Bogotá from June 17 to 20, 2014. The
conference was organized by the Department of Mathematics of the Universidad
NacionaldeColombiawiththesupportofotheracademicinstitutionsthatinclude
UniversidadAntonioNariño,UniversidadExternadodeColombiaandUniversidad

Thiswasthefirst editionofa seriesofeventstobeorganizedeveryotheryear,
whose objective is to become a reference in Actuarial Science and Quantitative
Finance in Colombia, the Andean region (Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador,
and Bolivia) and the Caribbean, with participation from researchers, students
and practitioners from different parts of the world. This first edition contributed
to enhancing the relations between the academic and industrial actuarial and

The event consisted of plenary sessions with invited speakers in the areas of
Actuarial Science and Quantitative Finance, oral sessions of contributed talks on
these topics, as well as poster sessions and short courses taught by some of
the invited speakers. The list of invited speakers reflects the broad variety of
topics:MoniqueJeanblanc(ArbitragesinaProgressiveEnlargementofFiltrations),
Stephane Loisel (From Ruin Theory to Longevity Risk), Hansjoerg Albrecher
(InsuranceRisk,BankruptcyandtheCostofCapital),SteveHaberman(Longevity
RiskandLongevityTrends),AjaySubramanian(DynamicPrudentialRegulation),
FabioMercurio(DerivativePricingUnderCollateralizationandDifferentialRates),
David Ingram (Culture and its Impact on Risk Management of an Insurance
Enterprise), Richard Davis (Noncausal Vector AR Processes with Application to
Economic Time Series), Edward (Jed) Frees (Insurance CompanyOperations and
DependenceModeling)andCarlosVazquezCendón(SpeedupofCalibrationand
Pricing with SABR Models: From Equities to Interest Rates Derivatives). Topics
for short courses included: Heavy-tailed Time Series: Theory and Applications
(Richard Davis), Regression Modelling with Actuarial Applications (Edward W.
Frees), Modelling Credit Risk Events (Monique Jeanblanc) and Enterprise Risk
ManagementforInsuranceCompanies(StephaneLoisel).
Additionally, contributions from researchers and students were presented in
oral and poster sessions. There were 37 oral presentations from 56 submitted
contributions,andthreeposterpresentationsoutof6submittedpostercontributions.
Speakers came from a diverse list of countries that included Argentina, Brazil,
Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, France, Ireland, Mexico, Netherlands, Taiwan,
USA, Spain, Switzerland, UK and Venezuela. The number of contributionsalong

providing a day to address problems arising from the financial and insurance
industries. As a matter of fact, topics of talks, and in some cases the speakers
themselves came from those industries. The space provided to practitioners a
platform to presentand discuss with academics and students differentapproaches
