Abstract
Levy (2016) proposes asymptotic first-degree stochastic dominance as a distribution ranking criterion for all non-satiable decision makers with infinite investment horizons. Given Levy's setting, this paper defines and offers the equivalent distributional conditions for asymptotic second-degree stochastic dominance, as well as operational asymptotic first- and second-degree stochastic dominance. Interestingly, the operational asymptotic stochastic dominance provides a full rank over assets with lognormal returns and different means. Empirical applications show that our conditions can be readily implemented in practice.
