摘要
We study the risk-averse newsvendor model with a mean-variance objective function. We show that stockout cost has a significant impact on the newsvendor's optimal ordering decisions. In particular. with stockout cost. the risk-averse newsvendor does not necessarily order less than the risk-neutral newsvendor. We illustrate this finding analytically for the case where the demand follows the power distribution. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
