Social Sciences - Education / Pedagogy / Name of Department
Spanish term or phrase: Departamento de Economía Financiera, Actuarial y Estadística
Hola,


Como continuación a la pregunta anterior. Tengo dudas sobre el nombre de este departamento y el conjunto de todo estas líneas. Hay que tener en cuenta que para Unidad Docente, ya tengo Education Department, pero quizá pueda cambiarse por Education Unit o Area.

Se trata de nombrar a un profesor de universidad que ha hecho una contribución a una estrategia comercial, siendo esta un juego.
¿Qué tal Department of Economy and Finances, Actuarial and Statistics Sciences?

D. Nombre Apellido
Unidad Docente de Estadística e Investigación Operativa (Métodos de Decisión)
Departamento de Economía Financiera, Actuarial y Estadística
Facultad de Comercio y Turismo
Universidad Complutense de Madrid-UCM

Gracias.

Francois:
1. Call it what you will - Actuarial Science = Actuarial Economics (depends on the part of the world you are in, where different countries apply their own nomenclature). Countries can make up any title they want, Francois.

2. Your proposal too: It is totally unsupported. No references!!!!!!!

Actuarial science is the discipline that applies mathematical and statistical methods to assess risk in insurance, finance and other industries and professions. ... Actuarial science includes a number of interrelated subjects, including mathematics, probability theory, statistics, finance, economics, and computer science.

Or if you prefer: "Department of Financial and Actuarial Science & Statistics", Science instead of "Economics" as some people may raise eyebrows at the term "Actuarial Economics", although used, is highly country dependant, for example: India uses this term "Economics"; it will depend to a large degree on your target audience.

agree  Toni Castano

  -> Thank you so much Toni. Stay safe.

agree  philgoddard: Francois is wrong to say that actuarial economics doesn't exist, as a quick Google shows. But he's perfectly entitled to comment on, and even disagree with, your answer.

  -> Thank you Phil; Yes (although among his languages pairs, French is the primary; I am not suggesting either that he does not understand Spanish); he can say what he likes neutral/disagree but justify it & not be rude about it; not 1st time (fin. expert???)
