Theoretical concepts together with estimation and optimization methods for portfolio choice based on Stochastic Dominance are reviewed. Distinction is drawn between the concepts of Pairwise Dominance, Admissibility, Optimality, Efficiency and Spanning. Results of selected empirical studies and...

This study formulates portfolio analysis in terms of Stochastic Dominance, Relative Entropy and Empirical Likelihood. We define a portfolio inefficiency measure based on the divergence between given probabilities and the nearest probabilities that rationalize a given portfolio for some...
