Description: Pre- or corequisite, At least 2 of the following courses in mathematics or statistics (or permission of instructor): MATH 231, MATH 232, STOR 151, STOR 155, BIOS 511, BIOS 512, BIOS 600, ECON 400, BIOL/ENEC 562; some programming experience (COMP 110, COMP 116, or BIOS 511) helpful, but not required. Society's growing exposure to the financial risks associated with natural hazards (e.g., flood, drought, extreme temperatures) has made it increasingly important to both accurately quantify these risks and develop innovative strategies for managing them. This course provides exposure to the fundamentals of financial risk management with application to natural hazards an emphasis on developing coupled models that consider natural variability, engineered/managed structures and financial/economic factors. Students will learn to (i) model the financial risk posed by extreme events; (ii) understand the merits of various risk management tools; and (iii) develop effective strategies for managing natural hazard-based financial risk. 3 units.
