A note on first degree stochastic dominance

Abstract

A link is established between stochastic dominance and a different dominance relationship which we call pointwise dominance. This provides the basis for making several comparisons of expected values of non-decreasing functions of random variables. We discuss economic problems for which the application of stochastic dominance results depends on this link.
