Tackling the Investment Decision as a “Newsvendor Problem”

Author
Thompson, Gary

The newsvendor model is a classic approach to determining how to set appropriate inventory levels for products whose value is perishable. While the newsvendor analysis does not yield the richness of data found in a simulation-based model, newsvendor analysis provides a relatively simple way to determine inventory levels.
