A nonparametric test of stochastic dominance in multivariate distributions
نویسنده
چکیده
The literature on statistical test of stochastic dominance has thus far been concerned with univariate distributions. This paper presents nonparametric statistical tests for multivariate distributions. This allows a nonparametric treatment of multiple welfare indicators. These test are applied to a time series of cross-section datasets on household level total expenditure and non labour market time in the UK. This contrasts the welfare inferences which might be drawn from looking at univariate (marginal) distributions with those which consider the joint distribution.

Do Nonparametric Tests of Stochastic Minance in Bivariate Distributions , with an Application to Uk Data
This paper make straightforward extensions to Anderson’s (1996) nonparametric statistical tests of stochastic dominance criteria to bivariate distributions. These test are applied to a time series of cross-section datasets on household level total expenditure and non labour market time in the UK.
متن کاملHessian Stochastic Ordering in the Family of multivariate Generalized Hyperbolic Distributions and its Applications
In this paper, random vectors following the multivariate generalized hyperbolic (GH) distribution are compared using the hessian stochastic order. This family includes the classes of symmetric and asymmetric distributions by which different behaviors of kurtosis in skewed and heavy tail data can be captured. By considering some closed convex cones and their duals, we derive some necessary and s...
متن کاملConditional Stochastic Dominance Testing
This article proposes bootstrap-based stochastic dominance tests for nonparametric conditional distributions and their moments. We exploit the fact that a conditional distribution dominates the other if and only if the di¤erence between the marginal joint distributions is monotonic in the explanatory variable for each value of the dependent variable. The proposed test statistic compares restric...
متن کاملAND ECONOMETRICS SEMINAR OF ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL STATISTICS UNIVERSITY OF COLOGNE No. 2/96 Nonparametric Inference for Second Order Stochastic Dominance by Friedrich Schmid
Abstract: This paper deals with nonparametric inference for second order stochastic dominance of two random variables. If their distribution functions are unknown they have to be inferred from observed realizations. Thus, any results on stochastic dominance are in uenced by sampling errors. We establish two methods to take the sampling error into account. The rst one is based on the asymptotic ...
متن کاملAn 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...
