In this paper, we investigate the value versus growth strategies from the perspective of stochastic dominance. Using half century US data on value and growth stocks, we find strong evidence that value stocks stochastically dominate growth stocks in all three-order of stochastic dominance...

We study, using the idea of stochastic dominance, the long-run post merger stock performance of UK acquiring firms. We compare performance by using the entire distribution of returns rather than only the mean as in traditional event studies. Our main results are as follows: First, we find that,...

We investigate the value versus growth investment strategies from the perspective of stochastic dominance analysis. Using G7 country data on value and growth stocks, we find that value stocks stochastically dominate growth stocks only for the US, Canada, and Japan, while there are no significant...

In this paper, we study the relative performance of value versus growth strategies from the perspective of stochastic dominance. Using half a century US data on value and growth stocks, we find no evidence against the widely documented fact that value stocks stochastically dominate growth stocks...

We re-visit long-run performance after IPOs using a model-free stochastic dominance approach that allows us to compare the empirical distribution of portfolio payoffs while incorporating assumptions about investors' preferences. Our main results are as follows. First, we find that investors, who...

Studies of long-run stock price abnormal performance aftercorporate events are plagued by difficulties in statistical inference and the inevitable joint hypothesis problem in tests of market efficiency. In this paper, we study long-run performance using a 'model-free' stochastic dominance...

We re-visit the long-horizon underperformance following seasoned equity offerings (SEOs) from an asset allocation perspective. We focus on the economic value, to a mean-variance investor, of investing in a SEO portfolio relative to a set of benchmark portfolios. As a result, we are able to avoid...

We study the long-run abnormal performance of a sample of UK firms following convertible security issues over the period 1982-1996. We make the following contributions relative to prior research. We are the first to study long-run stock price performance of firms following convertible preference...
