In recent years, risk management has attracted a great deal of attention from both researchers and practitioners. Typical financial hedging contracts have been used in the area of operation services by a growing number of operations management researchers. Risk creates lots of opportunity to make profits. Complexity and uncertainty in many practical problems require new methods and tools to handle. Risk management can be used as a tool for greater rewards, not just control against losses.
This special issue seeks to provide a platform for exchanging new ideas and to bring together state-of-the-art research from different perspectives. It focuses on real problems and opportunities that are being experienced in industry, and looks for papers that describe helpful, relevant research, or that reflect on the current state and identify new research directions.
Subject Coverage
We solicit papers that address the issues raised above with an emphasis on the use of models and tools from the areas of, but not limited to:

Dear Sir/Madam,
The studies of the joint distributions of some actuarial random vectors, for the compound Pascal model of which appear on insuring practice, are important and significant. In the paper to title �Ruin probability and joint distributions of some actuarial random vectors in the compound Pascal model�, we study the ruin probability and the finite-horizon ruin probability in the compound Pascal risk model, the joint distributions of some actuarial random vectors, and obtained the explicit expressions of the above questions.
Yours Faithfully!
Xianmin Geng
