This is the homepage of Dr. Christian S. Pedersen


I was born on March 19th, 1972, in Aarhus , Denmark. Since 1985, I have resided in the UK, where I have studied at Southbank International School, where I took GCSE's, Advanced High School Diploma and the International Baccalaureate (IB), The London School of Economics and Political Science, where I was awarded a BSc in Economics with first class honours and an MSc in Discrete and Applicable Mathematics, and Trinity College, Cambridge University, where I was awarded an MPhil in Economics and the PhD-degree for a thesis entitled, Four Essays on Risk in Finance . I have published articles in the fields of Financial Risk and Decision Theory, which can be viewed and downloaded in Acrobat format at Publications, and have acted as referee for the Journal of Applied Econometrics. My present research interests include relating Decision Theory and theoretical risk analysis to Empirical Finance, in particular asset pricing, risk measurement and performance measurement. I am a member of the Decision Analysis Society, a subsidiary of the Institute for Operational Research and Management Science (InfORMS). As of September 1999, I am joining the Financial Consulting firm Oliver, Wyman and Company in London as an Associate Consultant. My main interests outside work center around sports, where, apart from playing basketball, football, tennis and rugby, I am a devoted fan of Wimbledon Football Club.
