Spaces for Agreement: A Theory of Time-Stochastic Dominance

Spaces for agreement: a theory of Time-Stochastic Dominance

Many investments involve both a long time-horizon and risky returns. Making investment decisions thus requires assumptions about time and risk preferences. Such assumptions are frequently contested, particularly in the public sector, and there is no immediate prospect of universal agreement. Motivated by these observations, we develop a theory and method of finding ‘spaces for agreement’. These...

Stochastic dominance theory for location-scale family

Meyer (1987) extended the theory of mean-variance criterion to include the comparison among distributions that differ only by location and scale parameters and to include general utility functions with only convexity or concavity restrictions. In this paper, we make some comments on Meyer’s paper and extend the results from Tobin (1958) that the indifference curve is convex upwards for risk ave...
