RT journal article T1 Characterizations of classes of risk measures by dispersive orders A1 Sordo Díaz, Miguel Ángel A2 Estadística e Investigación Operativa K1 dispersive order K1 excess wealth order K1 risk measures K1 Gini mean difference K1 Wang's right tail deviation AB In this paper, a class C of risk measures, which generalizes the class of risk measures for the right-taildeviation suggested by Wang (1998), is characterized in terms of dispersive order. If dispersive order does nothold, unanimous comparisons are still possible by restricting our attention to a subclass of C and then the criterion is the excess wealth order. Sufficient conditions for stochastic equivalence of excess wealth ordered random variables are derived in terms of some particular measures of this subclass.
