- A Note on Portfolio Selection under Various Risk Measures
- This work gives a brief overview of the portfolio selection problem following the mean-risk approach first proposed by Markowitz (1952).

We show that...

With large data sets of "well-behaved" data, the traditional parametric and semiparametric approaches perform well. These models include the two-step and maximum likelihood sample-selection approaches (e.g., Heckman) as well as...
