Our paper contributes to the literature by extending the theory of the mean-variance (MV) rules for both risk averters and risk lovers to the MV rule for investors with reverse S-shaped utility. To do so, we first introduce the definition of the MV rule for investors with reverse S-shaped...

Recently, a new Bayesian approach has been developed to explain some market anomalies. In this paper, we conduct a questionnaire survey to examine whether the theory holds empirically by studying the conservative and representative heuristics by Hong Kong small investors who adopt momentum...

This investigation is among the first to examine the impact of stock market liberalization on the efficiency of Latin American stock markets. It is also among the first to apply the martingale hypothesis test and a stochastic dominance approach to study the issue of efficient markets. Daily...

In this paper, we first develop some properties to state the relationships between the central moments and stochastic dominance for both the general utility functions and the polynomial utility functions. This leads to draw preferences of both risk averters and risk seekers on their choices of...

In this paper, we propose the use of new stochastic dominance tests to achieve a more robust analysis of relative welfare levels in the study of income distributions. In particular, we propose applying the theory of descending stochastic dominance to enrich results that are obtained using the...

Lam, et al. (2010, 2012) and Guo, et al. (2015) have developed a new Bayesian approach to explain some market anomalies. In this paper we conduct a survey to examine whether the theory developed in Lam, et al. (2010, 2012) and Guo, et al. (2015) holds in the empirically by studying the behavior...
