In the trade-off between risk and reward, modelling risk has always been a major problem. Traditionally, both gains and losses are assumed to contribute to risk equally, and in a rather rigid manner. Stochastic Dominance (SD) frees the model of these problematic assumptions and allows for a broad range of risk measures which are selected in a non-parametric way. This thesis proposes new tests for the SD-efficiency of a given portfolio (for various orders), a test for two-fund separation, and contains empirical work based on these tests.
