• Sommario/riassunto: Inventory management and pricing decisions based on quantitative models both in industrial practice and academic works often rely on minimizing expected cost, which refers to the concept of risk-neutrality of the decision maker. In this title, spectral risk measures are applied to price-setting newsvendor problem and optimal policies are derived.
