International Journal of Theoretical and Applied Finance
The International Journal of Theoretical and Applied Finance was founded in 1998 and is published by World Scientific. The journal spans a wide range of topics focussing on the use of quantitative tools in finance, including articles on development and implementation of mathematical models, their industrial usage, and application of modern stochastic methods.
The Editor-in-Chief of IJTAF is Matheus R. Grasselli of McMaster University, Ontario. Before Grasselli assumed this role the Editor-in-Chief was Lane P. Hughston of Goldsmiths, University of London who served in that capacity from 2007 until 2022. Grasselli and Hughston served jointly as co-Editors over the year 2022.
The disciplines and topics covered by IJTAF include:
- Mathematical finance
- Financial engineering
- Applications of modern probability theory and stochastic analysis in finance
- Models for interest rate, equity, foreign exchange, commodity, credit and inflation-linked products
