that specialists ’ positions are negatively correlated with past price changes and positively correlated with subsequent changes. A portfolio that is long stocks with the highest inventory positions and short stocks with the lowest inventory positions has returns of 0.10 % and 0.33 % over the following 1 and 5

Empirical studies linking liquidity provision to asset prices follow naturally from inventory models. Liquidity suppliers and market markers profit from providing immediacy to less patient investors, but have limited inventory-carrying and risk-bearing capacity. Similarly, limits to arbitrage

-equation restrictions. The econometric results shed light on several important topics, including the shape of the marginal cost of output and the role of labor hoarding as an explanation of procyclical productivity and the persistence of inventory stocks. Moreover, they raise questions about the adequacy of commonly

to identify the extent to which any asymmetries in the refining margin can be explained by “tightness ” due to low invento-ries. This is the first paper to examine the effects of low inventory (stock-outs) on regimes in the context of Deaton and Laroque [1, 2] and, Scheinkman and Schechtman [3] theory

Our basic aim is to determine an optimal inventory holding and production policy for suppliers, which means determining of an optimal and a critical inventory stock-level. The expected (average) cost of supplier using the optimal policy
