DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMETRICS AND BUSINESS STATISTICS A Monte Carlo Investigation of Some Tests for Stochastic Dominance
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper compares the performance of several tests for stochastic dominance up to order three using Monte Carlo methods. The tests considered are the Davidson and Duclos (2000) test, the Anderson test (1996) and the Kaur, Rao and Singh (1994) test. Only unpaired samples of independent observations are considered, as this is a restriction for both the Anderson and Kaur-Rao-Singh tests. We find that the Davidson-Duclos test appears to be the best. The Kaur-Rao-Singh test is overly conservative and does not compare favorably against the Davidson-Duclos and Anderson tests in terms of power.

DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMETRICS AND BUSINESS STATISTICS Bayesian Analysis of the Stochastic Conditional Duration Model
A Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo methodology is developed for estimating the stochastic conditional duration model. The conditional mean of durations between trades is modelled as a latent stochastic process, with the conditional distribution of durations having positive support. The sampling scheme employed is a hybrid of the Gibbs and Metropolis Hastings algorithms, with the latent vector ...

Acknowledgments I acknowledge useful conversations with Serena Ng, James Stock, and Vince Wiggins. The KPSS code was adapted from John Barkoulas’ RATS code for that test. Thanks also to Richard Sperling for tracking down a discrepancy between published work and the dfgls output and alerting me to the Cheung and Lai estimates. Any remaining errors are my own.

متن کاملAugmented Markov Chain Monte Carlo Simulation for Two-Stage Stochastic Programs with Recourse
In this paper, we develop a simulation-based approach for two-stage stochastic programs with recourse. We construct an augmented probability model with stochastic shocks and decision variables. Simulating from the augmented probability model solves for the expected recourse function and the optimal first-stage decision. Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, together with ergodic averaging, provide ...
متن کاملDEPARTMENT OF ECONOMETRICS AND BUSINESS STATISTICS Estimation of Hyperbolic Diffusion Using MCMC Method
In this paper we propose a Bayesian method for estimating hyperbolic diffusion models. The approach is based on the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method after discretization via the Milstein scheme. Our simulation study shows that the hyperbolic diffusion exhibits many of the stylized facts about asset returns documented in the financial econometrics literature, such as a slowly declining aut...
متن کاملDEPARTMENT OF ECONOMETRICS AND BUSINESS STATISTICS Bayesian Estimation of a Stochastic Volatility Model Using Option and Spot Prices
In this paper we apply Bayesian methods to estimate a stochastic volatility model using both the prices of the asset and the prices of options written on the asset. Implicit posterior densities for the parameters of the volatility model, for the latent volatilities and for the market price of volatility risk are produced. The method involves augmenting the data generating process associated wit...
