We propose new diversification-consistent DEA models suitable for assessing efficiency of investment opportunities available on financial markets. The formulations based on directional distance measures enable to use several risk measures as inputs and return measures as outputs, which can take...

We extend the theory of penalty functions to stochastic programming problems with nonlinear inequality constraints dependent on a random vector with known distribution. We show that the problems with penalty objective, penalty constraints and chance constraints are asymptotically equivalent...

We focus on rating of non-life insurance contracts. We employ multiplicative models with basic premium levels and specific surcharge coefficients for various levels of selected risk/rating factors. We use generalized linear models (GLM) to describe the probability distribution of total losses...

We extend the theory of penalty functions to stochastic programming problems with nonlinear inequality constraints dependent on a random vector with known distribution. We show that the problems with penalty objective, penalty constraints and chance constraints are asymptotically equivalent...

We propose new efficiency tests which are based on traditional DEA models and take into account portfolio diversification. The goal is to identify the investment opportunities that perform well without specifying our attitude to risk. We use general deviation measures as the inputs and return...
