Abstract: We give sufficient conditions for a positive stochastic matrix to be similar and strong shift equivalent over $mathbb{R}_{+}$ to a positive doubly stochastic matrix through matrices of the same size. We also prove that every positive stochastic matrix is strong shift equivalent over $mathbb{R}_{+}$ to a positive doubly stochastic matrix. Consequently, the set of nonzero spectra of primitive stochastic matrices over $mathbbR$ with positive trace and the set of nonzero spectra of positive doubly stochastic matrices over $mathbbR$ are identical. We exhibit a class of $2imes2$ matrices, pairwise strong shift equivalent over $mathbb{R}_{+}$ through $2imes2$ matrices, for which there is no uniform upper bound on the minimum lag of a strong shift equivalence through matrices of bounded size. In contrast, we show for any $nimesn$ primitive matrix of positive trace that the set of positive $nimesn$ matrices similar to it contains only finitely many SSE-$mathbb{R}_{+}$ classes.
