Abstract
A difficulty occurs in stochastic dominance applications when alternatives are not mutually exclusive and mixed prospects may be formed. Exhaustive examination of all possible mixed prospects is often impractical. In this paper, rules are derived and tested for deciding when and to what extent mixed prospects should be examined.
