This paper examines a dynamic version of the newsboy problem in which a decision maker must maintain service capacity from several sources to attempt to meet uncertain demand for a perishable good, subject to the cost of providing sufficient capacity, and penalties for not meeting demand.

We also demonstrate that strategic firms choose even ...
