Explore the street vendor and farmer problems through stochastic programming to maximize expected profit, make risk-neutral decisions, and evaluate the value of information like Expected Value of Perfect Information and Value of the Stochastic Solution. This model formulation involves making first-stage decisions without full information, followed by corrective actions based on real-time data, showcasing the value of information in decision-making processes.

Maximizing the Expected Profit (long-run profit, risk-neutral decisions )
General Model Formulation • We have a set of decisions to be taken without full information on some random events, which we call first-stage decisions (x) • Later, full information is received on the realization of some random vector ξ, and second-stage or corrective actions (recourse) y are taken • We assume that the probability distribution of ξ is known a priori • The preceding examples illustrate such models
