Testing for Stochastic Dominance Efficiency

چکیده
We consider consistent tests for stochastic dominance efficiency at any order of a given portfolio with respect to all possible portfolios constructed from a set of assets. We propose and justify approaches based on simulation and the block bootstrap to achieve valid inference in a time series setting. The test statistics and the estimators are computed using linear and mixed integer programming methods. The empirical application shows that the Fama and French market portfolio is FSD and SSD efficient, although it is mean-variance inefficient.

An economic-risk analysis of alternative rotations by stochastic simulation in Fars province
ABSTRACT - Cultivation of legumes in crop rotations results in atmosphere nitrogen fixation. After harvesting, part of this external nitrogen remains in soil and is used by subsequent crops. This implies that producers would gain from lowering the amount of nitrogen fertilizer in their fields. In this study, stochastic simulation is used to generate probability distributions of net present valu...
متن کاملTesting for the stochastic dominance efficiency of a given portfolio
We propose a new statistical test of the stochastic dominance effi ciency of a given portfolio over a class of portfolios. We establish its null and alternative asymptotic properties, and define a method for consistently estimating critical values. We present some numerical evidence that our tests work well in moderate sized samples.
متن کاملElectricity Procurement for Large Consumers with Second Order Stochastic Dominance Constraints
This paper presents a decision making approach for mid-term scheduling of large industrial consumers based on the recently introduced class of Stochastic Dominance (SD)- constrained stochastic programming. In this study, the electricity price in the pool as well as the rate of availability (unavailability) of the generating unit (forced outage rate) is considered as uncertain parameters. Th...
متن کاملOutperformance Testing of a Dynamic Assets Portfolio Selection Supplemented with a Continuous Paths Levy Process
This study aims at getting a better performance for optimal stock portfolios by modeling stocks prices dynamics through a continuous paths Levy process. To this end, the share prices are simulated using a multi-dimensional geometric Brownian motion model. Then, we use the results to form the optimal portfolio by maximizing the Sharpe ratio and comparing the findings with the outputs of the conv...
متن کاملRobustness and bootstrap approaches to SSD portfolio efficiency testing
This paper deals with portfolio efficiency testing with respect to second-order stochastic dominance (SSD) criteria. Unlike the pair-wise tests the portfolio efficiency tests allow for full diversification across the assets. As usual in SSD testing, the returns of assets are modeled by scenarios. We apply a computationally attractive method to test whether a US market portfolio, proxied by CRSP...
