摘要
We settle an open conjecture regarding the newsvendor game. We prove that its core is always nonempty for all possible joint distributions of the random demands. We give sufficient conditions under which the core is a singleton, or at a core allocation every newsvendor shares a nonnegative cost. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science.
