Rothschild and Stiglitz in 19701 paved the way for a new paradigm called stochastic
dominance (SD), with hundreds of studies following these three studies. While
Hanoch and Levy and Hadar and Russell developed First and Second degree SD
rules (FSD and SSD rules), the focus of the paper by Rothschild and Stiglitz is
mainly on the definition of risk and how to quantify it. By searching for the
appropriate risk measure, they developed SSD rule for prospects with equal means
