This has important consequences for optimization problems with stochastic dominance constraints. In particular we show that the space of probability measures on $\mathbb{R}$ is a lattice under most of the known partial orders, whereas the space of probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$ typically is not. Nevertheless, some subsets of this space, defined by imposing strong conditions on the dependence structure of the measures, are lattices. %G English %L hal-00539119 %U https://hec.hal.science/hal-00539119 %~ SHS %~ HEC %~ CNRS %~ AO-ECONOMIE
