In this paper, we first develop some properties to state the relationships among central moments, stochastic dominance (SD), risk-seeking stochastic dominance (RSD), and integrals for the general utility functions and the polynomial utility functions of both risk averters and risk seekers. We...

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 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 assets...

In this paper, we introduce a new Bayesian approach to explain some market anomalies during financial crises and subsequent recovery. We assume that the earnings shock of an asset follows a random walk model with and without drift to incorporate the impact of financial crises. We further assume...

In this paper we present two dynamic models of background risk. We first present a stochastic factor model with an additive background risk. Thereafter, we present a dynamic model of simultaneous (correlated) multiplicative background risk and additive background risk. In so doing, we use a...

This study establishes necessary conditions for Almost Stochastic Dominance criteria of various orders. These conditions take the form of restrictions on algebraic combinations of moments of the probability distributions in question. The relevant set of conditions depends on the relevant order...

In this paper, we introduce a new Bayesian approach to explain some market anomalies. We first develop some properties on the expected earnings shock and its volatility and establish some properties of investors' behavior on the stock price and its volatility during a financial crisis and...

In this paper we first extend the theory of almost stochastic dominance (ASD) (for risk averters) to include the ASD for risk-seeking investors. We then study the relationship between ASD for risk seekers and ASD for risk averters. Recently, Tsetlin, et al. (2015) develop the theory of...
