Abstract
The chapter investigates chosen hedging strategies with options as useful risk hedging instruments. Assuming that average investor prefers greater return, is risk-averse, and prefers greater positive skewness, the performance of different hedged and unhedged portfolios is evaluated using stochastic dominance (SD) criteria and data envelopment analysis (DEA). The SD is examined up to the third degree (TSD) using Davidson-Duclos (DD) test. In the DEA, a super efficiency BCC model is used. It is investigated how these two methodologies can be combined and how the TSD criteria can be integrated into DEA in order to simplify the analysis of determining efficient hedging strategies with options.
