Mini-course "Introduction to the Theory of Financial Risk"

In December 12 and December 13 2019 a professor of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (USA) Stanislav Molchanov delivered a mini-course "Introduction to the Theory of Financial Risk"

The aim of the mini-course was a discussion of the paper (A. Cherny, R. Douady, S. Molchanov “On measuring non-linear risk with scarce observations”, Finance and Stochastic, 2010, 14(03)) and the questions related to it.
