We develop a strategic model of network interdiction in a non-cooperative game of flow. An adversary, endowed with a … bounded quantity of bads, chooses a flow specifying a plan for carrying bads through a network from a base to a target …. Simultaneously, an agency chooses a blockage specifying a plan for blocking the transport of bads through arcs in the network. The …

I demonstrate that sometimes the buyer achieves a higher … ex-ante payoff if the bargaining mechanism is selected by her opponent rather than by herself. In the model, the buyer …
