Abstract
We investigate the second-order stochastic ordering of the extreme value distributions within each of three families: the Gumbel distribution, the Frechet distribution, and the Weibull distribution. We give conditions for second-order stochastic dominance, conditional second-order stochastic dominance, and order statistics second-order stochastic dominance within the three families
