A collection of 18 papers, many of which are surveys, on asymptotic theory in probability and statistics, with applications to a wide variety of problems. This volume comprises three parts: limit theorems, statistics and applications, and mathematical finance and insurance. It is intended for graduate students in probability and statistics, and for researchers in related areas.
