This paper applies stochastic dominance (SD) tests to examine the dominance relationships between the futures and spot markets in Hong Kong. We also analyze the preferences for the risk averters, risk seekers, prospect investors, and Markowitz investors with further in dept of their positive and...

This paper applies stochastic dominance (SD) tests to examine the dominance relationship between the futures and spot markets in Malaysia, the preferences for the risk-averse and risk-seekers in these markets, the existence of arbitrage opportunities, and whether the markets are efficient and...

This paper applies the MV criterion, CAPM statistics, and the modified stochastic dominance tests to examine the stochastic dominance (SD) relationship between the spot and futures markets in Malaysia and investigates the preference of these markets for risk averters and risk seekers before...

This paper re-examines the performance of REITs, stocks, and fixed-income assets based on the preferences of risk-averse and risk-seeking investors using mean-variance and stochastic dominance approaches. Our findings indicate no first-order stochastic dominance and no arbitrage opportunity...

This paper develops the stochastic dominance (SD) tests for risk seekers. We find both MV criterion and CAPM measures unable to draw any conclusive preference between the returns but our SD results show that spot dominates futures in the downside risk while futures dominate spot in the upside...

The paper bridges a gap in the literature by using moment analysis, CAPM statistics, stochastic dominance (SD) test, and volume analysis to examine investor preferences for warrants between China and Taiwan, and investigating why the market for warrants in China has to close while the market for...

This paper examines the market efficiency of oil spot and futures prices by using both mean-variance (MV) and stochastic dominance (SD) approaches. As there is no evidence of any MV and SD relationship between oil spot and futures, we conclude: there is no arbitrage opportunity between these two...

This paper examines risk-averse and risk-seeking investor preferences for oil spot and futures prices by using the mean-variance (MV) criterion and stochastic dominance (SD) approach. The MV findings cannot distinguish between the preferences of spot and futures markets. However, the SD tests...
