讲座纲要:We consider a supply chain model with one supplier and one retailer who acts as a newsvendor. The first model in this dissertation focuses on the supplier and the retailer's optimal policies in a multi-period newsvendor model. We derive the optimal pricing and ordering policies for demand with Increasing Generalized Failure Rate (IGFR) property and obtain comparative statics for the optimal prices.

We also analyze the risk-return trade-off in single-period newsvendor models using the mean-variance approach. We derive the risk-return curve for the retailer and the corresponding distribution in closed-form for a two-point distribution and a three-point distribution in the classic model. An approximation algorithm is introduced to efficiently calculate the risk-return curve in the continuous distribution models.
