Distributionally robust joint chance constraints with second-order moment information
<12>
Chance constraints are probabilistic constraints in decision making. This is the first paper that relaxes the assumption of exact knowledge of probability distributions for (joint) chance constrained optimization. The paper invokes approximations using Worst-Case Conditional Value-at-Risk. It is a generalisation of the model discussed in http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0377221710006259 by the same authors. Axioma has implemented the latter as software for portfolio management with derivative insurance guarantees (http://www.updatefrom.com/axioma/2011_q2/research_focus.asp).
PhD Student: S. Zymler was offered a job at MAN Group (major hedge fund) based on strength and topicality (concerning risk) of this paper.
