Abstract

This note develops conditions for stochastically dominant shifts in a random variable to have a qualitative identifiable effect on a decision variable in two cases: Leland's two-period consumption saving model and Sandmo's model of a firm under uncertainty. In both models, the risk is additive. While the literature focused on mean-preserving spreads, we derive qualitative conclusions in a different group of cases.
