Abstract

Necessary conditions for DSD (decreasing absolute risk aversion stochastic dominance) efficiency of • mixtures of risky alternatives are presented. A concave programming problem which is equivalent to these conditions is stated. A simple example is used to illustrate these ideas. An ex post analysis provides additional insight.
