We suggest, then, that the contribution of this paper lies in its introduction of a new methodology which we then use to answer a question in economics and fina

For example, the weak axiom of revealed preference can be tested without assuming a parametric family of preferences.

In the circumstances envisaged by this literature, multi-period contracts perform no useful function when agents are equally well-informed.. The present paper considers a different set of cir

Stochastic Dominance and Transformations of Random Variables the difference between their cumulative distribution functions (CDF) must satisfy. Various SD ranking procedures have been employed in both empirical and theoretical analysis. First degree stochastic dominance, second degree stochastic dominance, and Rothschild and Stiglitz’ definition of increasing risk are prominent examples.
