A new characterization of second-order stochastic dominance
We provide a new characterization of second-order stochastic dominance, also known as increasing concave order. The result has an intuitive interpretation that adding a risk with negative expected value in adverse scenarios makes the resulting position generally less desirable for risk-averse agents. A similar characterization is also found for convex order and increasing convex order. The proof techniques for the main result are based on properties of Expected Shortfall, a family of risk measures that is popular in banking and insurance regulation. Applications in risk management and insurance are discussed.

Max- and min-stability under first-order stochastic dominance
Max-stability is the property that taking a maximum between two inputs results in a maximum between two outputs. We study max-stability with respect to first-order stochastic dominance, the most fundamental notion of sto…
Law-Invariant Return and Star-Shaped Risk Measures
This paper presents novel characterization results for classes of law-invariant star-shaped functionals. We begin by establishing characterizations for positively homogeneous and star-shaped functionals that exhibit seco…
Multivariate Stochastic Dominance via Optimal Transport and Applications to Models Benchmarking
Stochastic dominance is an important concept in probability theory, econometrics and social choice theory for robustly modeling agents' preferences between random outcomes. While many works have been dedicated to the uni…
BenchmarkingEconometricsPosterior Probabilities for Lorenz and Stochastic Dominance of Australian Income Distributions
Using HILDA data for the years 2001, 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2017, we compute posterior probabilities for dominance for all pairwise comparisons of income distributions in these years. The dominance criteria considered are …
New approximate stochastic dominance approaches for Enhanced Indexation models
In this paper, we discuss portfolio selection strategies for Enhanced Indexation (EI), which are based on stochastic dominance relations. The goal is to select portfolios that stochastically dominate a given benchmark bu…
