Within the context of optimisation under uncertainty, a well-known alternative to minimising expected value or the worst-case scenario consists in minimising regret. In a multistage stochastic programming setting with a discrete probability distribution, we explore the idea of risk-averse regret minimisation, where the benchmark policy can only benefit from foreseeing ∆ steps into the future.

The ∆-regret model naturally interpolates between the popular ex ante and ex post regret models. We provide theoretical and numerical insights about this family of models under popular coherent risk measures and shed new light on the conservatism of the ∆-regret minimising solutions. The talk is based on the following paper: https://pubsonline.informs.org/doi/full/10.1287/opre.2022.2429.
