Optimal flexible capacity in newsboy problem under stochastic demand and lead-time
In this paper, we consider a newsvendor who is going to invest on dedicated or flexible capacity, our goal is to find the optimal investment policy to maximize total profit while the newsvendor faces uncertainty in lead time and demand simultaneously. As highlighted in literature, demand is stochastic, while lead time is constant. However, in reality lead time uncertainty decreases newsvendor's...
متن کاملA Note on Mean-variance Analysis of the Newsvendor Model with Stockout Cost
We apply the mean-variance approach to analyze the risk-averse newsvendor problem with stockout cost. We first derive an explicit form and some new properties of the variance of the profit function. Then, under the assumption that demand follows the power distribution, and its special case the uniform distribution, we obtain the set of optimal ordering quantities. We also give a counterexample ...
متن کاملDistributionally robust multi-item newsvendor problems with multimodal demand distributions
We present a risk-averse multi-dimensional newsvendor model for a class of products whose demands are strongly correlated and subject to fashion trends that are not fully understood at the time when orders are placed. The demand distribution is known to be multimodal in the sense that there are spatially separated clusters of probability mass but otherwise lacks a complete description. We assum...
متن کاملEarnings Announcement Premium and Information Ambiguity
In today's investment world there is emphasis on the role of accounting information. Behavioral factors always play an important role in financial markets. All investors are not rational and their demand for riskiness of assets is influenced by their beliefs and feelings. Optimism, pessimism, self-confidence, ambiguity-aversion, etc. help changing the manner of decision-making process over time...
متن کاملAsymmetry and Ambiguity in Newsvendor Models
The traditional decision-making framework for newsvendor models is to assume a distribution of the underlying demand. However, the resulting optimal policy is typically sensitive to the choice of the distribution. A more conservative approach is to assume that the distribution belongs to a set parameterized by a few known moments. An ambiguity-averse newsvendor would choose to maximize the wors...
