Download or read book Stochastic Dominance written by Haim Levy and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-31 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fully updated third edition is devoted to the analysis of various Stochastic Dominance (SD) decision rules. It discusses the pros and cons of each of the alternate SD rules, the application of these rules to various research areas like statistics, agriculture, medicine, measuring income inequality and the poverty level in various countries, and of course, to investment decision-making under uncertainty. The book features changes and additions to the various chapters, and also includes two completely new chapters. One deals with asymptotic SD and the relation between FSD and the maximum geometric mean (MGM) rule (or the maximum growth portfolio). The other new chapter discusses bivariate SD rules where the individual’s utility is determined not only by his own wealth, but also by his standing relative to his peer group. Stochastic Dominance: Investment Decision Making under Uncertainty, 3rd Ed. covers the following basic issues: the SD approach, asymptotic SD rules, the mean-variance (MV) approach, as well as the non-expected utility approach. The non-expected utility approach focuses on Regret Theory (RT) and mainly on prospect theory (PT) and its modified version, cumulative prospect theory (CPT) which assumes S-shape preferences. In addition to these issues the book suggests a new stochastic dominance rule called the Markowitz stochastic dominance (MSD) rule corresponding to all reverse-S-shape preferences. It also discusses the concept of the multivariate expected utility and analyzed in more detail the bivariate expected utility case. From the reviews of the second edition: "This book is an economics book about stochastic dominance. ... is certainly a valuable reference for graduate students interested in decision making under uncertainty. It investigates and compares different approaches and presents many examples. Moreover, empirical studies and experimental results play an important role in this book, which makes it interesting to read." (Nicole Bäuerle, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2007 d)
Book Synopsis Multi-moment Asset Allocation and Pricing Models by : Emmanuel Jurczenko
Download or read book Multi-moment Asset Allocation and Pricing Models written by Emmanuel Jurczenko and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-10-02 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While mainstream financial theories and applications assume that asset returns are normally distributed and individual preferences are quadratic, the overwhelming empirical evidence shows otherwise. Indeed, most of the asset returns exhibit “fat-tails” distributions and investors exhibit asymmetric preferences. These empirical findings lead to the development of a new area of research dedicated to the introduction of higher order moments in portfolio theory and asset pricing models. Multi-moment asset pricing is a revolutionary new way of modeling time series in finance which allows various degrees of long-term memory to be generated. It allows risk and prices of risk to vary through time enabling the accurate valuation of long-lived assets. This book presents the state-of-the art in multi-moment asset allocation and pricing models and provides many new developments in a single volume, collecting in a unified framework theoretical results and applications previously scattered throughout the financial literature. The topics covered in this comprehensive volume include: four-moment individual risk preferences, mathematics of the multi-moment efficient frontier, coherent asymmetric risks measures, hedge funds asset allocation under higher moments, time-varying specifications of (co)moments and multi-moment asset pricing models with homogeneous and heterogeneous agents. Written by leading academics, Multi-moment Asset Allocation and Pricing Models offers a unique opportunity to explore the latest findings in this new field of research.
Download or read book Stochastic Dominance written by Haim Levy and published by Kluwer Academic Pub. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to investment decision-making under uncertainty. The book covers three basic approaches to this process: The stochastic dominance approach; the mean-variance approach; and the non-expected utility approach, focusing on prospect theory and its modified version, cumulative prospect theory. These approaches are discussed and compared in this book. In addition, this volume examines cases in which stochastic dominance rules coincide with the mean-variance rule and cases in which contradictions between these two approaches may occur. It then discusses the relationship between stochastic dominance rules and prospect theory, and establishes a new investment decision rule which combines the two and which we call prospect stochastic dominance. Although all three approaches are discussed, most of the book is devoted to the stochastic dominance paradigm. This book is intended for Ph.D students, advanced MBA students specializing in finance, and advanced MA economics students interested in the economics of uncertainty. The book can be used as a supplementary book in post-graduate courses on portfolio selection and investment decision-making under uncertainty.

Book Synopsis On Stochastic Dominance Optionbounds in Discrete and Continuous Space and Time with Stochastic and Deterministic Volatility and Pricing with Constant Relative Risk Aversion by : Eli Rose
Download or read book On Stochastic Dominance Optionbounds in Discrete and Continuous Space and Time with Stochastic and Deterministic Volatility and Pricing with Constant Relative Risk Aversion written by Eli Rose and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis makes original contributions to the field of asset pricing, which is a field dedicated to describing the prices of financial instruments and their characteristics. The prices of these financial instruments are determined by the behavior of investors who buy and sell them, and so asset pricing is ultimately done by modeling the behavior of investors. One method for achieving this is through the framework of stochastic dominance. This thesis specifically deals with a specific class of financial instruments called European options and reviews the literature on stochastic dominance option pricing and discusses new methods for finding stochastic dominance bounds on options in both discrete and continuous time under both deterministic and stochastic volatility. The results presented here extends the works of Ritchken and Kuo (1988) and Perrakis and Ryan (1984). Furthermore, stochastic dominance bounds for Heston's (1993) stochastic volatility model are obtained under certain assumptions. Finally, this thesis extends the work of Carr and Madan (1999) and solves for the characteristic function of the call price given the physical characteristic function under the CRRA utility model.

Book Synopsis Stochastic Methods in Asset Pricing by : Andrew Lyasoff
Download or read book Stochastic Methods in Asset Pricing written by Andrew Lyasoff and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2017-08-25 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive overview of the theory of stochastic processes and its connections to asset pricing, accompanied by some concrete applications. This book presents a self-contained, comprehensive, and yet concise and condensed overview of the theory and methods of probability, integration, stochastic processes, optimal control, and their connections to the principles of asset pricing. The book is broader in scope than other introductory-level graduate texts on the subject, requires fewer prerequisites, and covers the relevant material at greater depth, mainly without rigorous technical proofs. The book brings to an introductory level certain concepts and topics that are usually found in advanced research monographs on stochastic processes and asset pricing, and it attempts to establish greater clarity on the connections between these two fields. The book begins with measure-theoretic probability and integration, and then develops the classical tools of stochastic calculus, including stochastic calculus with jumps and Lévy processes. For asset pricing, the book begins with a brief overview of risk preferences and general equilibrium in incomplete finite endowment economies, followed by the classical asset pricing setup in continuous time. The goal is to present a coherent single overview. For example, the text introduces discrete-time martingales as a consequence of market equilibrium considerations and connects them to the stochastic discount factors before offering a general definition. It covers concrete option pricing models (including stochastic volatility, exchange options, and the exercise of American options), Merton's investment–consumption problem, and several other applications. The book includes more than 450 exercises (with detailed hints). Appendixes cover analysis and topology and computer code related to the practical applications discussed in the text.
Book Synopsis A Minimum Discrepancy Formulation of Stochastic Dominance Analysis and Implications for Asset Pricing by : Valerio Potì
Download or read book A Minimum Discrepancy Formulation of Stochastic Dominance Analysis and Implications for Asset Pricing written by Valerio Potì and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we offer a MD (Minimum Discrepancy) reformulation of the estimation and inference problem that arises in SD analysis, delivering a method that retains the desirable properties of optimal GMM while offering better higher order ones and, most importantly, without requiring the estimation of the weighting matrix, which is typically unstable and, especially when the cross-section of test-asset payoffs is large compared to the sample period length, subject to substantial sampling error. Moreover, when testing for stochastic dominance/efficiency of a given evaluated portfolio, our method makes it straightforward to impose a no short sales restriction on the admissible allocations to the test assets. While important in practice in certain circumstance, this is instead very hard, if not impossible, in a traditional GMM setting. In an empirical application using 51 years of data on portfolios formed sorting stocks on size and size and book-to-market, we find that, under decreasing absolute risk aversion (DARA) as well as more restrictive parametric specifications of the utility function, the market portfolio is stochastically dominated by the size and book to market portfolios while it compares favorably to the size portfolios.
Book Synopsis Stochastic Dominance Option Pricing by : Ioan Mihai Oancea

Book excerpt: This thesis examines the pricing of options under several models with market incompleteness. The theoretical approach relies on the absence of stochastically dominating portfolios containing the underlying asset, the option and the riskless bond. The stochastic dominance approach provides two bounds on the equilibrium pricing of options by risk-averse investors. The two bounds are discounted conditional expectations of the option payoff under two probability measures. This research generalizes the previous stochastic dominance pricing results in discrete time to non-i.i.d. underlying asset return processes and to contingent claims with non-convex payoffs. The new results are then used to examine the stochastic dominance pricing bounds for several discrete and continuous time processes of the underlying asset. The continuous time bounds are obtained by constructing a sequence of discrete approximations that converge weakly to a given continuous time process. The weak convergence property provides the convergence of the two option bounds, which are discounted expectations of the option payoff. In the case of a univariate diffusion process, the two option bounds converge to a common limit. The two bounds converge to distinct limits when the underlying asset follows a jump-diffusion mixture. The non-iid stochastic dominance pricing results are then applied to the pricing of options for a LARCH specification of the underlying asset returns. The two stochastic dominance bounds are obtained both for conditional normal and non-normal returns. The impact of the model estimation error is examined by generating a return sample from a known model and computing the stochastic dominance bounds implied by several estimated models.

Download or read book Continuous-Time Asset Pricing Theory written by Robert A. Jarrow and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-07-30 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asset pricing theory yields deep insights into crucial market phenomena such as stock market bubbles. Now in a newly revised and updated edition, this textbook guides the reader through this theory and its applications to markets. The new edition features new results on state dependent preferences, a characterization of market efficiency and a more general presentation of multiple-factor models using only the assumptions of no arbitrage and no dominance. Taking an innovative approach based on martingales, the book presents advanced techniques of mathematical finance in a business and economics context, covering a range of relevant topics such as derivatives pricing and hedging, systematic risk, portfolio optimization, market efficiency, and equilibrium pricing models. For applications to high dimensional statistics and machine learning, new multi-factor models are given. This new edition integrates suicide trading strategies into the understanding of asset price bubbles, greatly enriching the overall presentation and further strengthening the book’s underlying theme of economic bubbles. Written by a leading expert in risk management, Continuous-Time Asset Pricing Theory is the first textbook on asset pricing theory with a martingale approach. Based on the author’s extensive teaching and research experience on the topic, it is particularly well suited for graduate students in business and economics with a strong mathematical background.
