Distributionally robust multi-item newsvendor problems with multimodal demand distributions
2014
Mathematical programming
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 ...
We assume that the newsvendor hedges against distributional ambiguity by minimizing the worstcase risk of the order portfolio over all distributions that are compatible with the given modality information ...

Distributionally Robust Newsvendor with Moment Constraints
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
This paper expands the work on distributionally robust newsvendor to incorporate moment constraints. The use of Wasserstein distance as the ambiguity measure is preserved. ...
To investigate this, some theory is developed and a case study in auto sales is performed. We conclude with some comments on directions for further research. ...
Introduction and Overview
Newsvendor Model The newsvendor model is a classical problem in inventory control that has been extensively studied under a variety of settings. ...

Pull-to-center is not just for newsvendors
2022
PLoS ONE
Our laboratory experiments replicate the standard results for newsvendors and yield the equivalent pattern in the price gouging game. ...
This suggests previously observed newsvendor behavior is driven by structural aspects of the task consistent with models like prospect theory and impulse balance rather than context specific explanations ...

Risk Mitigation in Newsvendor Networks: Resource Diversification, Flexibility, Sharing, and Hedging
2007
Management science
In contrast to single-resource settings, risk-averse newsvendors may invest more in networks than risk-neutral newsvendors: some resources and even total spending may exceed risk-neutral levels. ...
With normally distributed demand, risk-averse newsvendors change resource levels roughly proportionally to demand variance, while risk-neutral agents adjust only proportionally to standard deviation. ...
The author greatly benefited from the excellent comments and questions from three peer reviewers and the associate editor, which substantially improved this paper. ...

Determination of start times and ordering plans for two-period projects with interdependent demand in project-oriented organizations: A case study on molding industry
2017
Journal of Project Management
The main innovation of the present research is to develop a model that is mainly based on the two-period newsvendor problem, but assumes that demand is interdependent, i.e. it is actually a combination ...
Results show that the proposed model with interdependent demand provides a better solution than independent demand. ...
This increases the complexity of inventory control models like the twoperiod newsvendor problem and has received little attention in the literature. ...

Asymmetry and Ambiguity in Newsvendor Models

Operational Investment and Capital Structure Under Asset Based Lending: A One Period Model
2012
Social Science Research Network
We model the new business as a single-period inventory (newsvendor) model. ...
In this solution, asset based lending leads to an upper limit on the potential loss faced by the bank, and thus, helps manage bankruptcy risk. ...
Despite this evidence, the relationship between risk and leverage is ambiguous in the tradeoff theory and the pecking order theory models (Frank and Goyal (2008) and references therein). ...

Conic reformulations for Kullback-Leibler divergence constrained distributionally robust optimization and applications
2021
An International Journal of Optimization and Control: Theories & Applications
We specialize our generic formulation to two classical optimization problems, namely, the Newsvendor Problem and the Uncapacitated Facility Location Problem. ...
This model considers an ambiguity set that consists of all distributions whose Kullback-Leibler divergence to an empirical distribution is bounded. ...
Under this probabilistic setting, we define the ambiguity set P i (q i , ǫ i ) := {p i ∈ ∆ S i : D KL (p i ||q i ) ≤ ǫ i }, for i ∈ [m] , where ǫ i ∈ R + controls the divergence from the historical data ...

Bounded Rationality in Newsvendor Models

In contrast, this paper takes a descriptive approach and considers bounded rationality, in the sense that decision makers are prone to errors and biases. ...

Journal of Industrial and Management Optimization
This model can be used in a number of applications, such as procurement of raw materials in projects (e.g., construction, bridge-building and molding) where demand of different periods is interdependent ...

This paper takes a more comprehensive approach in building several prospect theory-based newsvendor models, and evaluates their competence in representing the observed newsvendor behavior. ...
Moreover, our novel approach to model building and testing could serve as a template for selecting appropriate prospect theory models in contexts other than the newsvendor problem. ...
