Abstract: We compare equilibrium jump diffusion option prices with endogenously determined stochastic dominance (SD) option bounds. We use model parameters from earlier studies and find that most equilibrium model prices consistent with SD bounds yield economically meaningless results. Further, the implied distributions of the SD bounds exhibit a tail risk comparable to that of the underlying return data, thus shedding light on the dark matter of the inconsistency of physical and risk‐neutral tail probabilities. Since the SD bound assumptions are weaker, we conclude that these bounds should either replace or be used to verify the equilibrium model results.
