description <p>A flourishing literature on robustness in multidimensional welfare and poverty comparisons has aroused the interest on multidimensional stochastic dominance. By generalizing the dominance conditions of Atkinson and Bourguignon (1982) this paper offers complete conditions, alternative to those proposed by Duclos <i>et al.</i> (2006a,b). We also show how to test these conditions for discrete variables extending the non-parametric test by Anderson (1996) to multiple dimensions. An empirical application illustrates these tests.</p>
