Both stochastic dominance and Omegaratio can be used to examine whether the market is efficient, whether there is any arbitrage opportunity in the market and whether there is any anomaly in the market. In this paper, we first study the relationship between stochastic dominance and the Omega...

It is well-known that under some conditions, the mean-variance rule is equivalent to stochastic dominance rule. Some academics hypothesize that there could exist mean-Omega ratio rule that could be equivalent to stochastic dominance rule under certain conditions. To explore this possible, in...

In this paper, we will investigate whether there is any Sharpe ratio rule or Omega ratio rule that can be used to show that one asset outperforms another asset if it has a higher Sharpe ratio and/or Omega ratio. We find that Sharpe ratio rule could not detect preference of both risk averters and...

We first show that second-order stochastic dominance (SSD) and/or second-order risk-seeking stochastic dominance (SRSD) alone for any two prospects is not sufficient to imply the Omega ratio of one asset is always greater than that of the other one. We then extend the theory of risk measures by...

This paper is on decision theoretical foundations for various types of VaR models, including VaR and conditional-VaR, as objective measures of downside risk for financial prospects. We establish the connections of the VaRs with the first- and the second-order stochastic dominance investment...

Extending the work of Jobson and Korkie (1981), Lo (2002) and Memmel (2003), this paper applies the technique of the repeated measures design to develop the Multiple Sharpe ratio test statistic to test the hypothesis of the equality of the multiple Sharpe ratios. We also work out the asymptotic...

Parametric production frontier functions are frequently used in stochastic frontier models, but there do not seem to be any empirical test statistics for its plausibility. To bridge the gap in the literature, we develop two test statistics based on local smoothing and an empirical process,...
