The aim of the seminar is to study the theory of Backward Stochastic Differential Equations (BSDEs) with jumps and their applications to insurance and finance.
The first part of the seminar focuses on the theory of BSDEs, i.e. we derive existence and uniqueness results for solutions of (Forward)-BSDEs and investigate numerical methods for this type of equation.
In the second part of the seminar we study a combined financial and insurance model and analyze how several well-known pricing and hedging approaches can be solved by the application of BSDEs.

The seminar is aimed at master students. A solid background in stochastic calculus is required.
