Almost first-order stochastic dominance by distorted expectations

Probability in the Engineering and Informational Sciences, 2022
Almost stochastic dominance has been receiving a great amount of attention in the financial and economic literatures. In this paper, we characterize the properties of almost first-order stochastic dominance (AFSD) via distorted expectations and investigate the conditions under which AFSD is preserved under a distortion transform.

Consistent Tests for Almost Stochastic Dominance

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2015
Leshno and Levy (2002) introduce the concept of the first and second order of almost stochastic dominance (ASD) for most decision makers. There are many studies investigating the properties of this concept. Many empirical applications are also conducted based on it. However, there is no formal statistical inference procedure up to now.

An almost stochastic dominance based method for stochastic multiple attributes decision making

Intelligent Decision Technologies, 2017
This paper proposes an almost stochastic dominance based method for solving the stochastic multiple attribute decision making (SMADM) problems, where the attribute values of alternatives are represented by interval number with probability distribution (INPD), a random variable with closed interval support.

Almost stochastic dominance under inconsistent utility and loss functions

Journal of Applied Probability, 2017
Abstract Current literature on stochastic dominance assumes utility/loss functions to be the same across random variables. However, decision models with inconsistent utility functions have been proposed in the literature. The use of inconsistent loss functions when comparing between two random variables can also be appropriate under other problem ...

Almost Stochastic Dominance and Moments [PDF]

, 2013
This paper first extends the theory of almost stochastic dominance (ASD) to the first four orders. We then establish some equivalent relationships for the first four orders of the ASD. Using these results, we prove formally that the ASD definition modified by Tzeng et al.\ (2012) does not possess any hierarchy property.

Almost Stochastic Dominance: A Penchant for Risk

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2008
This paper shows that the Almost Stochastic Dominance (ASD) decision rule overlooks the effect of leverage on the variance of portfolio returns. If a portfolio dominates another by ASD then that portfolio bought with any amount of leverage will also be dominant by ASD.

Almost Stochastic Dominance (ASD)

2016
We have seen in Chap. 6 that the SD criteria as well as the MV rule may lead to paradoxes in decision making. To avoid such paradoxes and to make the theoretical distributions to be closer to the empirical distributions it suggested in the previous chapter to truncate the theoretical distributions.

Socially responsible investing portfolio: An almost stochastic dominance approach

International Journal of Finance & Economics, 2018
AbstractThis study investigates whether socially responsible investing (SRI) portfolio performs better than the market indexes using the utility‐based nonparametric approach. The results from realized return distribution show that SRI portfolio outperforms the market indexes in term of almost stochastic dominance. The outperformance of SRI portfolio is

Uniform Inference for Almost Stochastic Dominance

This paper develops a uniformly valid inference framework forAlmost Stochastic Dominance (ASD). ASD relaxes classical stochasticdominance by allowing small violations of dominance inequalities, and hasbeen widely used in empirical finance and welfare analysis.
