We propose a Bayesian factor analysis model to rank the health of localities. Mortality and morbidity variables empirically contribute to the resulting rank, and population and spatial correlation are incorporated into a measure of uncertainty. We use county-level data from Texas and Wisconsin...

While the Sharpe ratio is still the dominant measure for ranking risky assets, a substantial effort has been made over … ranking measure which, under a regularity condition, correctly ranks risks relative to the original investor problem for a … probability distributions. This paper also explores the theoretical foundations of risk ranking, including proving a key …

unbiased informative ranking. The existence of the ranking might affect the welfare of all consumers negatively. With rigid … prices, the ranking induced change in demand can be detrimental to all consumers in markets featuring rationing or … consumption externalities. With perfectly flexible prices, the ranking might increase firms' market power, and hence lead to …

This paper is concerned with the problem of ranking Lorenz curves in situations where the Lorenz curves intersect and … no unambiguous ranking can be attained without introducing weaker ranking criteria than first-degree Lorenz dominance. To … ranking of a set of Lorenz curves. From the weight-functions of these inequality measures we obtain intuitive interpretations …
