During the last decades the globalization, the intensified competition and
the technological advances have had a major impact on the global financial
environment. Within this context the increased complexity of financial
decision-making problems makes empirical procedures no longer adequate.
Researchers and practitioners have already acknowledged this requirement and
have focused on the development and implementation of new sophisticated and
efficient quantitative and computational methodologies originating from a
plethora of disciplines. Initially, these methodologies adopted an
econometric, statistical and optimization perspective. Recently, however,
new innovative approaches became of interest. Among them, several new
computational methods have been proposed, including soft computing,
evolutionary techniques, neural networks and neuro-fuzzy systems, support
vector machines, etc.
The scope of this special issue is to present the most recent advances on
the development and application of new computational methods in financial
engineering, including topics such as portfolio management, credit rating
and bankruptcy prediction, mergers and acquisitions, asset pricing, risk
management, bond rating, country risk assessment, etc.
Papers might describe new methodological developments, experimental results,
development of decision support systems or real-world case studies, but
should seek to present innovative work and results, explore themes of
interest to both practicing financial decision makers and analysts,
demonstrate academic and theoretical rigor.
Submissions should be sent be e-mail to Dr. Michael Doumpos at:
