To circumvent the limitations of the tests for coefficients of variation and Sharpe ratio, we develop the mean-variance-ratio statistic to test for the equality of the mean-variance ratios. We prove that our proposed statistic is uniformly most powerful unbiased. In addition, we provide the...

The traditional linear Granger test has been widely used to examine the linear causality among several time series in bivariate settings as well as multivariate settings. Hiemstra and Jones (1994) develop a nonlinear Granger causality test in a bivariate setting to investigate the nonlinear...

Homm and Pigorsch (2012a) use the Aumann and Serrano index to develop a new economic performance measure (EPM), which is well known to have advantages over other measures. In this paper, we extend the theory by constructing a one-sample confidence interval of EPM, and construct confidence...
