A Bilevel Model of Taxation and Its Application to Optimal Highway Pricing
研究一个双层模型,领导者通过税收方案最大化收入,跟随者理性反应;聚焦于多商品运输网络中的收费设定问题,证明一般情况为NP完全,特定情况可多项式求解,并给出数值例子。
We consider a bilevel model where the leader wants to maximize revenues from a taxation scheme, while the follower rationally reacts to those tax levels. We focus our attention on the special case of a toll-setting problem defined on a multicommodity transportation network. We show that the general problem is NP-complete, while particular instances are polynomially solvable. Numerical examples are given.
