Workshop Summary

The workshop aims to discuss leading-edge research in credit and commodities (energy) modelling. The first day and half of the second will be devoted to credit derivatives while the focus of the remaining one and half days is on commodities, in particular energy risk. It is the second of a series of workshops jointly organized with the Birkbeck College, University of London (see www.energyrisk.org for details on the first workshop).

Particular topics that will be discussed are
