## Abstract This paper outlines a class of statistical procedures that permit testing of a broad range of multidimensional stochastic dominance hypotheses and, more generally, welfare hypotheses that rely upon multiple stochastic dominance conditions. We apply the procedures to data on income and l

โฆ Synopsis
Consider two devices subjected to shocks arriving according to two identically defined counting processes. Let N 1 and N 2 be the random numbers of shocks until failure of the two devices, respectively, and let T 1 and T 2 be their random lifetimes. Conditions such that stochastic orders between N 1 and N 2 are preserved by T 1 and T 2 have been investigated in recent literature. Here we study this problem in a multivariate setting, considering systems of non-independent components, and we extend some known results to multivariate stochastic orders. Two kinds of multivariate generalizations are considered; the case that each one of the components is subjected to its own fond of shocks and the case that all the components of the same system are subjected to a common font of shocks.

A new class of nonparametric reliability models is introduced and studied. A distribution is said to be better at age s than at age t (sBt) if the residual lifetime at age s is stochastically greater than or equal to the residual lifetime at age t.

## Abstract A new multivariate stochastic volatility model is developed in this paper. The main feature of this model is to allow threshold asymmetry in a factor covariance structure. The new model provides a parsimonious characterization of volatility and correlation asymmetry in response to marke
