Continuing Risks

Continuing Risks risks Editorial 1 2 3 , Corina Constantinescu , Montserrat Guillen and Mogens Steffensen * Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Liverpool, Liverpool L69 3BX, UK Department of Econometrics, Statistics and Applied Economics, University of Barcelona, 08034 Barcelona, Spain Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Universitetsparken 5, DK-2100 Copenhagen, Denmark * Correspondence: mogens@math.ku.dk Risks will soon celebrate its tenth anniversary. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all authors, readers, and reviewers of the past decade. Ten years ago, Risks was the new journal in the class; a journal that entered a competitive classroom with enough self- confidence to believe that it had a role to play there. This new journal immediately became the rebellious student in the class. Risks stood up against conventions and challenged the power of habits. Risks had, and still has, some unique features in terms of both its format and content that make it stand out from its peers. Risks is a rare journal that is dedicated to modelling and understanding risks where the two areas of application, finance and insurance, are equally important and repre- sented. Most other journals in the class are either actuarial journals that also welcome economic and financial contributions or financial economics journals that also wel- come applications in insurance. Risks is neither finance nor insurance by origin. It is finance and insurance. This is possible because Risks was born after it was realized and generally acknowledged, during the 1990s and 2000s, that finance and insurance are sister disciplines that rely, draw, and depend heavily on each other. Standing firmly on both legs, finance and insurance, makes Risks meritorious. Risks is a rare journal that considers itself inclusive rather than exclusive. Exclusive journals aim for distinction within their exclusive circles of academic society. Exclusive journals can sometimes evolve into excluding journals more than they know. Inclusive journals strive, instead, to stretch the circles of the academic community within which they exist. This inclusion encompasses all dimensions, including geography, affiliation, Citation: Constantinescu, Corina, the academic age of the authors, and line and originality of thought—far beyond Montserrat Guillen, and Mogens gender and ethnicity.
