Poverty, Inequality and Stochastic Dominance, Theory and Practice: The Case of Burkina Faso [PDF]

open access: yes
In this paper we provide a set of rules that can be used to check poverty or inequality dominance using discrete data. Existing theoretical rules assume continuity in incomes or in percentiles of the population.

Stochastic Dominance Efficiency Tests under Diversification [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper focuses on Stochastic Dominance (SD) efficiency in a finite empirical panel data. We analytically characterize the sets of unsorted time series that dominate a given evaluated distribution by the First, Second, and Third order SD.

Consistent Testing for Stochastic Dominance: A Subsampling Approach [PDF]

open access: yes
We propose a procedure for estimating the critical values of the Klecan, McFadden, and McFadden (1990) test for first and second order stochastic dominance in the general k-prospect case. Our method is based on subsampling bootstrap.

EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVE RISK SPECIFICATIONS IN FARM PROGRAMMING MODELS [PDF]

open access: yes
The use of alternative probability density functions to specify risk in farm programming models is explored and compared to a traditional specification using historical data.

PREFERENCE RELATIONS IN RANKING MULTIVALUED ALTERNATIVES USING STOCHASTIC DOMINANCE: CASE OF THE WARSAW STOCK EXCHANGE [PDF]

Discounting The Equity Premium Puzzle [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper applies recent tests of stochastic dominance of several orders proposed by Linton, Maasoumi and Whang (2003) to reexamine the equity premium puzzle. An advantage of this nonparametric framework is that it provides a means to assess whether the

Changes in Risk and Asset Prices [PDF]

open access: yes
We examine asset prices in a representative-agent model of general equilibrium. Assuming only that individuals are risk averse, we determine conditions on the changes in asset risk that are both necessary and sufficient for the asset price to fall.
