Abstract

In this paper we give the outline of a research project developed in a cooperation between the actuarial, financial and statistical research groups of the Faculty of Economics and Applied Economics and the research group on statistics in the Mathematical Department. The main purpose consists indetermining quantitative tools for managing unvertainty (in a financial insurance environment).
