Abstract

In this paper, we show that, despite their rigid analytical form, substitute risk-independent utilities have a much wider applicability than expected. Our contribution extends that of Mosler (Mosler, K. C. 1984. Stochastic dominance decision rules when the attributes are utility independent. Management Sci. 30 (11) 1311--1322) by considering utility functions that exhibit properties beyond nonsatiation and risk aversion (e.g., prudence and temperance). By using the widespread idea of correlation aversion, substitute risk-independent utilities are shown to generate bivariate stochastic dominance. As an application, portfolios are compared to assess the possible hedging effect between two outcomes.
