YR 2000 UL http://jai.pm-research.com/content/2/4/62.abstract AB Traditionally, the potential benefits of a particular investment strategy are explored using relatively simple risk and return ratios. In fact, a more complete look at the relative performance of the entire return distribution may be offered through the use of stochastic dominance. In this “academic presentation” the authors use stochastic dominance to provide further evidence of the benefits of equity REITs and the existence of a “January effect.”
