“…Examples include applications as varied as pollution control (Long, 1992), wireless networks (Jiang and Ruan, 2008), optimal routing on transit networks (Yang et al, 2007), international trade in renewable resources between a single buyer and competitive sellers (Batabyal and Beladi, 2006), models of reputation (Ely et al, 2008), law (Nie, 2005), retailer-wholesaler supply chain interactions (He et al, 2007;Xie and Ai, 2006), sequential tournaments (Morgan and Vá rdy, 2007), models of espionage (Solan and Yariv, 2004), optimal investment and financing (Jørgensen et al, 1989), and duopolistic competition (Dockner and Jørgensen, 1984;Cremer and Riordan, 1985;Fujiwara, 2006). It is with an eye towards applicability that the ensuing envelope results are presented, for they allow one to infer intrinsic properties of the class of differential games admitting locally differentiable Stackelberg equilibria with an open-loop information structure, without requiring one to explicitly solve such games in closed form.…”
