Prospect and Markowitz Stochastic Dominance
Levy and Levy (2002, 2004) develop the Prospect and Markowitz stochastic dominance theory with S-shaped and reverse S-shaped utility functions for investors. In this paper, we extend Levy and Levy’s Prospect Stochastic Dominance theory (PSD) and Markowitz Stochastic Dominance theory (MSD) to the first three orders and link the corresponding S-shaped and reverse S-shaped utility functions to the...
متن کاملStochastic Dominance and Prospect Dominance with Subjective Weighting Functions
Stochastic Dominance (SD) rules are used to divide the sets of all feasible uncertain prospects into efficient and inefficient sets (partial ordering). The SD rules (as well as the mean-variance rule) assume that investors agree on the available distributions of returns. Laboratory experiments with and without real money repeatedly reveal that even if all subjects observe the same pair of cumul...
متن کاملProbabilistic Choice and Stochastic Dominance
April 2008 Abstract This paper presents an axiomatic model of probabilistic choice under risk. In this model, when it comes to choosing one lottery over another, each alternative has a chance of being selected, unless one lottery stochastically dominates the other. An individual behaves as if he compares lotteries to a reference lottery—a least upper bound or a greatest lower bound in terms of ...
متن کاملStatic Portfolio Choice under Cumulative Prospect Theory
We derive the optimal portfolio choice for an investor who behaves according to Cumulative Prospect Theory. The study is done in a oneperiod economy with one risk-free asset and one risky asset, and the reference point corresponds to the terminal wealth arising when the entire initial wealth is invested into the risk-free asset. When it exists, the optimal holding is a function of a generalized...
متن کاملSocial dominance theory and medical specialty choice.
Understanding how medical students select their specialty is a fundamental issue for public health and educational policy makers. One of the factors that students take into account is a specialty's prestige which hinges partly on its focus on technique rather than whole person. We examine the potential of a psychological framework, social dominance theory, to explain why some students, and not ...
