International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract In modern supply chain ecosystems, brand owners increasingly adopt authorized reseller partnerships while concurrently operating their own flagship stores alongside resellers' exclusive stores. This study investigates the strategic implications of logistics service sharing between vertically related e‐commerce entities, particularly focusing ...

Learning in Conjectural Stackelberg Games
CoRRWe extend the formalism of Conjectural Variations games to Stackelberg games involving multiple leaders and a single follower. To solve these nonconvex games, a common assumption is that the leaders compute their strategies having perfect knowledge of the follower's best response.

Assessing second‐price auctions for parcel exchanges in last‐mile logistics
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract The rapid growth of e‐commerce has led to multiple carriers operating in the same regions, creating opportunities for collaboration. However, logistics companies typically operate independently, leading to inefficiencies. Horizontal cooperation, where carriers share resources and infrastructure, can improve efficiency and reduce costs.

Learning in Structured Stackelberg Games
CoRRWe initiate the study of structured Stackelberg games, a novel form of strategic interaction between a leader and a follower where contextual information can be predictive of the follower's (unknown) type. Motivated by applications such as security games and AI safety, we show how this additional structure can help the leader learn a utility-maximizing

SMEs and Climate Finance: A Hybrid Review
Journal of Economic Surveys, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The growing importance of sustainability and environmental practices, along with a recent surge in related research, motivated this review of environmental management and climate finance within the SME sector. Starting with an initial sample of 2063 articles, we refined the dataset, resulting in a final sample of 124 key publications.

Lurking Patent Claims and Strategic Royalty Contracts
The Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper analyzes optimal licensing contracts when a licensee faces the risk of future infringement claims by unknown patent holders. In a setting where a noncompeting licensor contracts with a monopolistic manufacturer, fixed‐fee licensing is optimal absent such claims.

Privatization Under Political Ties
The Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT I study a product differentiation model with endogenous entry where a politically connected public firm competes with a private one. Consumers are heterogeneous in their willingness to pay. I argue that—because of political ties—the public firm may mimic the preferences of the consumer with the median willingness to pay.

We study a Stackelberg variant of the classical discrete-time Dynkin game, in which Player 1 (the leader) commits to a stopping strategy first and Player 2 (the follower) responds optimally. This leader-follower structure induces an optimal control problem for the leader and gives rise to intrinsic time-inconsistency.

The Sample Complexity of Stackelberg Games
CoRRStackelberg games (SGs) constitute the most fundamental and acclaimed models of strategic interactions involving some form of commitment. Moreover, they form the basis of more elaborate models of this kind, such as, e.g., Bayesian persuasion and principal-agent problems.
