Efficiency Evaluation and Ranking DMUs in the Presence of Interval Data with Stochastic Bounds
On account of the existence of uncertainty, DEA occasionally faces the situation of imprecise data, especially when a set of DMUs include missing data, ordinal data, interval data, stochastic data, or fuzzy data. Therefore, how to evaluate the efficiency of a set of DMUs in interval environments is a problem worth studying. In this paper, we discussed the new method for evaluation and ranking i...
متن کاملWhat Drives Stochastic Risk Aversion
I examine determinants of stochastic relative risk aversion in conditional asset pricing models. I first develop time-series specification tests with nonlinear state-space models with heteroskedasticity based on Merton (1973)’s ICAPM. I then established the following facts. First, the surplus consumption ratio implied by the external habit formation model is the most important determinant of re...
متن کاملCredit rationing or entrepreneurial risk aversion? A comment
Cressy (2000) argues that the positive correlation between assets and the rate of business startups is due to DARA preferences. We show however that the required property is prudence, and prudence is consistent with DARA, IARA or CARA. © 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
متن کاملStochastic Dominance and Absolute Risk Aversion
In this paper we propose the inÞmum of the Arrow-Pratt index of absolute risk aversion as a measure of global risk aversion of a utility function. We then show that, for any given arbitrary pair of distributions, there exists a threshold level of global risk aversion such that all increasing concave utility functions with at least as much global risk aversion would rank the two distributions in...
متن کاملUtility Maximization, Risk Aversion, and Stochastic Dominance
Consider an investor trading dynamically to maximize expected utility from terminal wealth. Our aim is to study the dependence between her risk aversion and the distribution of the optimal terminal payoff. Economic intuition suggests that high risk aversion leads to a rather concentrated distribution, whereas lower risk aversion results in a higher average payoff at the expense of a more widesp...
