This book begins with the fundamental large sample theory, estimating ruin probability, and ends by dealing with the latest issues of estimating the Gerber–Shiu function. This book is the first to introduce the recent development of statistical methodologies in risk theory (ruin theory) as well as their mathematical validities. Asymptotic theory of parametric and nonparametric inference for the ruin-related quantities is discussed under the setting of not only classical compound Poisson risk processes (Cramér–Lundberg model) but also more general Lévy insurance risk processes.The recent development of risk theory can deal with many kinds of ruin-related quantities: the probability of ruin as well as Gerber–Shiu’s discounted penalty function, both of which are useful in insurance risk management and in financial credit risk analysis. In those areas, the common stochastic models are used in the context of the structural approach of companies’ default. So far, the probabilistic point of view has been the main concern for academic researchers. However, this book emphasizes the statistical point of view because identifying the risk model is always necessary and is crucial in the final step of practical risk management.
This book presents the derivation of the fluctuation theorems with divergent entropy production and their application to fundamental problems in statistical physics. It explores the two basic aspects of the fluctuation theorems: i) Applicability in extreme situations with divergent entropy production, concluding that the fluctuation theorems remain valid under the notion of absolute irreversibility, and ii) utility in the investigation of classical enigmas in the framework of statistical physics, i.e., Gibbs and Loschmidt paradoxes. The book offers readers an overview of the research in fundamental statistical physics. Firstly it briefly but skillfully reviews the modern development of fluctuation theorems to found the key theme of the book. Secondly it concisely discusses historical issues of statistical physics in chronological order, along with the key literature in the field. They help readers easily follow the key developments in the fundamental research of statistical physics.

The book discusses new and emerging economic models, that respond to ''Pulling'' and ''Pushing'' forces. Today we are poised at an interesting juncture, with favourable conditions making it easier to be a sustainable organization acting as a ΓÇÿPullingΓÇÖ Force and the climate crisis, rise in social-economic equities thereby ΓÇÿPushingΓÇÖ for urgent action. The book analyses economic models that look at value propositions, creation and capture with ΓÇÿPeople, Planet and ProfitΓÇÖ deeply embedded in each stage of the value chain. The contributions bring out the interplay between new standards, evaluation frameworks, technology innovation and other emerging tools to show how they create a sustainable business. For this, they lean on learnings from successful sustainable businesses. Business leaders will find that this book provides deep insights on improving their existing sustainable practices, and speeding up the transition from linear to circular, narrow stakeholder driven to community driven. For prospective entrepreneurs the book provides the nudge needed to start up a sustainable enterprise. Students and researchers can benefit from real-life examples of how sustainable transformations unfold.The book thus creates an easy guide for those willing to make the transition to sustainability, start a sustainable business and most of all, to motivate those who may not yet be convinced about the long-term sense of taking care of our people and our earth.

This book examines the emerging power of ΓÇ£Four BranchesΓÇ¥ of internationalization of higher education in China from a policy retrospective analysis. In particular, branch one includes China''s policy on studying abroad after the reform and opening up; branch two concentrates on China''s policy on studying in China after the reform and opening up; branch three explores the policy of Sino-foreign cooperation in running schools; branch four examines the policy of foreign exchange and cooperation. All these four emerging branches are interdependent, and all contribute to shaping the landscape of internationalization of higher education system in contemporary China. In addition, the conclusion and remarks are also offered in this book.The most important features of this book are: (1) new academic conceptualization; (2) comprehensive investigation of the new idea of ΓÇ£Four BranchesΓÇ¥ of internationalization of higher education in China from a policy retrospective analysis; (3) critically review and epitomize the contextualized construction of ΓÇ£Four BranchesΓÇ¥ of internationalization of higher education in China for constructing modern education model or system from conceptual, practical, and strategically scopes.The intended readers are scholars and researchers who are interested and work in research on China internationalization development in China and the administrators and stakeholders in Chinese education system and graduate students who majoring and minoring in the field of international education.
