Akio Hoshino is an Associate Professor at the School of Commerce, Waseda University, specializing in actuarial science and insurance risk management. His academic work bridges theoretical risk analysis with practical insurance applications, focusing on how individuals perceive and respond to different types of risks. Hoshino actively contributes to both undergraduate and graduate education through multiple courses in insurance management, actuarial science, and business fundamentals. Hoshino's research centers on a groundbreaking three-type classification of risk preferences (pure, speculative, and lottery risks), which explains seemingly contradictory behaviors where individuals may be risk-averse in insurance contexts yet risk-seeking in gambling. His work demonstrates that risk preferences are domain-specific rather than universal, with minimal correlation between risk attitudes across different contexts. This has significant implications for insurance product development, pricing strategies, and consumer protection regulations. His publication record reveals a consistent focus on understanding how psychological and behavioral factors influence insurance decision-making. Recent work examines flood insurance take-up patterns, the impact of autonomous driving technology on automobile insurance, and cognitive biases affecting risk perception. Hoshino's research increasingly incorporates quantitative methods to measure risk premiums across different risk domains, contributing to more nuanced economic models of risk behavior. Fellow of Institute of Actuaries of Japan As principal investigator for the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Grants-in-Aid project "Quantitative assessment of risk appetite based on a new classification of risks" (2022-2025), Hoshino has led extensive survey research involving 1,000 Japanese participants to measure risk preferences across different domains. His concurrent research project "Analysis of risk appetite by introducing three risk categories" further develops this framework, with findings presented at international conferences including the upcoming 2025 World Risk and Insurance Economics Congress.

Chris William Sanchirico serves as the Samuel A. Blank Professor of Law, Business, and Public Policy at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, where he also co-directs the Center for Tax Law and Policy. His academic career is distinguished by rigorous interdisciplinary work that bridges legal analysis with economic theory and mathematical modeling. Sanchirico's research program demonstrates remarkable breadth while maintaining methodological rigor. His primary focus lies in tax law and policy with dual emphasis on contemporary international issues and theoretical tax design. His methodology reflects the eclecticism demanded by modern legal analysis, employing mathematical models, sophisticated statistical methods, and deep institutional analysis. A unifying feature across his diverse body of work is its critical, often skeptical appraisal of how mathematical models and techniques are applied to legal issues. The trajectory of Sanchirico's scholarly output reveals evolving focus areas within tax policy. His recent work has concentrated on international tax challenges including digital services taxation, global minimum tax frameworks, and the complex issues surrounding foreign-derived intangible income. His articles consistently demonstrate how theoretical tax principles intersect with practical policy implementation challenges faced by multinational corporations and tax authorities. Sanchirico's scholarly impact is evidenced by his ranking as #14 among U.S. tax professors in the 2024 Google Scholar H-Index with an H-Index of 25. This recognition places him among the most influential tax scholars in the United States, reflecting both the quality and impact of his research contributions to the field. As Co-Director of the Center for Tax Law and Policy, Sanchirico plays a significant role in shaping contemporary tax discourse. His work frequently informs policy debates, as evidenced by his public commentary on issues such as the Biden administration's proposals for corporate foreign income taxation and Senator McConnell's approaches to pandemic recovery incentives. His research bridges academic rigor with practical policy relevance, making substantial contributions to both scholarly and policy conversations in tax law.
