An unexpected stochastic dominance: Pareto distributions, dependence, and diversification
We find the perhaps surprising inequality that the weighted average of independent and identically distributed Pareto random variables with infinite mean is larger than one such random variable in the sense of first-order stochastic dominance. This result holds for more general models including super-Pareto distributions, negative dependence, and triggering events, and yields superadditivity of the risk measure Value-at-Risk for these models.

Center-Outward q-Dominance: A Sample-Computable Proxy for Strong Stochastic Dominance in Multi-Objective Optimisation
Stochastic multi-objective optimization (SMOOP) requires ranking multivariate distributions; yet, most empirical studies perform scalarization, which loses information and is unreliable. Based on the optimal transport th…
Diversification for infinite-mean Pareto models without risk aversion
We study stochastic dominance between portfolios of independent and identically distributed (iid) extremely heavy-tailed (i.e., infinite-mean) Pareto random variables. With the notion of majorization order, we show that …
Modified Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney tests of stochastic dominance
Given independent samples from two univariate distributions, one-sided Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney statistics may be used to conduct rank-based tests of stochastic dominance. We broaden the scope of applicability of such tests…
validPosterior 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 …
Generalized Families of Fractional Stochastic Dominance
Introduced by M\"uller et al. in their seminal paper \cite{muller}, fractional stochastic dominance (SD) offers a nuanced approach to ordering distributions. In this paper, we propose a fundamentally new framework by rep…
