Our paper is organized as follows. Section 2 contains the general perturbation results for (1) together with a discussion of how to associate canonical metrics with more speci c stochastic programs. In Section 3 we discuss linear two stage, ....

Consistently with the general de nition of metric regularity for multifunctions (see e.g. [38, 16]) we consider the set valued mapping y 7 M y ( from IR d to IR m , where M y ( fx 2 X : Z f j ( x) d ) y j ; j = 1; dg; and say that its inverse x 7 M 1 x ( fy 2 IR d : x 2 M y ( g is metrically regular at some pair ( x; 0) 2 IR m IR d with x 2 M( ....

....(3) when the measure is subjected to variations in (P(IR s ) dK ) In the present paper, we look at conditions on model (3) implying quantitative continuity properties of solution sets with respect to the metric dK . Our main result (Theorem 2.5) extends our earlier work (Theorem 4. 3 in [6]) for the linear quadratic case (i.e. g convex quadratic, h linear and X convex polyhedral) considerably. It provides conditions implying upper Holder continuity of solution sets at the original measure with some rate that depends essentially on the data g; h and X. Our stability results are ....

Quantitative stability of stochastic programs with respect to perturbations of probability measures is investigated in [15, 16, 26, 27, 28, 29].
