Recently, Caballi and Pomansky (1996) proposed a formal definition of mixed risk aversion and characterized stochastic dominance in presence of such utility functions.

In this paper we show how a shift in a return distribution affects the composition of an optimal portfolio in the case of one riskless asset and two risky assets. We obtain that, in general, such a shift modifies the composition of the mutual fund. We also show that the separating conditions...

We study the interaction between leverage, employment structure and compensation policies within firms.

In this paper we show how a shift in a return distribution affects the composition of an optimal portfolio in the case of one riskless asset and two risky assets. We obtain that, in general, such a shift modifies the composition of themutual fund. We also show that the separating conditions...

In this research, we introduce information structure as a variable to explain differences in salary profiles and rates of separation among firm.
