We develop and implement methods for determining whether relaxing sparsity constraints on portfolios improves the investment opportunity set for risk-averse investors. We formulate a new estimation procedure for sparse second-order stochastic spanning based on a greedy algorithm and Linear...

This paper make straightforward extensions to Anderson's (1996) nonparametric statistical tests of stochastic dominance criteria to bivariate distributions. These test are applied to a time series of cross-section datasets on household level total expenditure and non labour market time in the UK.

In many sequential auctions the total number of units to be auctioned is not known at the outset of the auction …. However, information regarding the number of units may become available in the course of the auction. The paper examines how …

We study a stochastic auction in a multi-items and unit-demand setting where bidders have one-dimensional type spaces …. In a usual Pareto-efficient auction such as the VCG auction, items are allocated deterministically to bidders depending … on their bids. However, even if an auctioneer implements a deterministic auction repeatedly, data that the auctioneer and …

Stochastic sequential bargaining models (Merlo and Wilson (1995, 1998) have found wide applications in different fields including political economy and macroeconomics due to their flexibility in explaining delays in reaching an agreement. This paper presents new results in nonparametric...

The field of production frontier estimation is divided between the parametric Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) and the deterministic, nonparametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). This paper explores an amalgam of DEA and SFA that melds a nonparametric frontier with a stochastic composite...
