Abstract

For general law invariant coherent measures of risk, we derive an equivalent representation of a risk-averse newsvendor problem as a mean-risk model. We prove that the higher the weight of the risk functional, the smaller the order quantity. Our theoretical results are confirmed by sample-based optimization.
