Overview
During the last decade there has been a rapidly increasing flow of papers published on the theory and applications of Hawkes processes. The field of applications is wide, but roughly half of the recently published applications have been in the area of finance, utilizing fundamental operational research theories and modeling techniques. The goal of this special issue is to bring together expositions of the research that has developed new theoretical models employing Hawkes processes in a variety of financial problems. It will investigate the accuracy, computational efficiency and simplicity of various estimation and optimization methods that can be employed in the analysis of these problems. We encourage applications to financial topics including, but not restricted to, jump-diffusion models, LOB, market microstructure, HFT, financial networks, credit default, VaR; measurement of volatility and liquidity; asset pricing, portfolio selection, hedging strategies and market design.
