数学・数理科学グローバル特別講義6

My upcoming lectures at Kyoto University as part of the Global Special Lecture Series in Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences (No. 6) is now on the agenda: November 4, 5, 10, 11, and 13, 2025, from 9:30 till 11:30, at the Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University.

It will be one “Fairness and Distribution in Insurance – An Actuarial Perspective”. We will explore how fairness, risk sharing, and distributional concerns intersect with actuarial science and insurance, providing both theoretical insights and practical implications.

I am truly honored to contribute to this international program and look forward to engaging with students and colleagues in Kyoto.

Global Mathematics Lecture IV, Kyoto University

this Fall I will give the “Global Mathematics Lecture IV” at Kyoto University, a series open to all graduate students across the university (not limited to mathematics). My talk will focus on “algorithmic discrimination in predictive models”, based on Insurance, Biases, Discrimination and Fairness (published last year), with a particular emphasis on applications in insurance, a topic especially relevant for students in the actuarial/insurance track of the MSc program in the Department of Mathematics. Looking forward to engaging discussions with the students!

Graduate Course on Advanced Tools for Econometrics (2)

This Tuesday, I will be giving the second part of the (crash) graduate course on advanced tools for econometrics. It will take place in Rennes, IMAPP room, and I have been told that there will be a visio with Nantes and Angers. Slides for the morning are online, as well as slides for the afternoon.

In the morning, we will talk about variable section and penalization, and in the afternoon, it will be on changing the loss function (quantile regression).

Graduate Course on Advanced Tools for Econometrics (1)

This Monday, I will be giving the first part of the (crash) graduate course on advanced tools for econometrics. It will take place in Rennes, IMAPP room, and I have been told that there will be a visio with Nantes and Angers. Slides for the morning are online, as well as slides for the afternoon.

In the morning, we will talk about smoothing techniques, and in the afternoon, it will be on simulations and bootstrap techniques.

Graduate Course on Advanced Methods in Econometrics

I will give a short graduate course for PhD students, in Rennes, on Thurday mornings, in March (2nd, 9th, 23rd and 30th). The agenda will be

  1. Nonlinear Regression Models and Smoothing Techniques

  2. Bootstrapping and Regression

  3. Penalized Regression Models and LASSO

  4. Quantile Regression and Expectiles

There will be slides available by the end of February.
