We study a newsvendor who sells a perishable asset over repeated sales seasons to loss averse consumers. We identify conditions under which the expected price can be increasing in the consumer loss aversion level, and numerically show that the firm can prefer low and moderate levels of demand variability over no demand uncertainty. Moreover, we obtain a set of counterintuitive insights on how c...

We consider a Stackelberg game in a network, where a leader minimizes the cost of interdicting arcs and a follower seeks the shortest distance between given origin and destination nodes under uncertain arc traveling cost. In particular, we consider a risk-averse leader, who aims to keep high probability that the follower’s traveling distance is longer than a given threshold, interpreted by a ch...

Congestion games—in which players strategically choose from a set of “resources” and derive utilities that depend on the congestion on each resource— are important in a wide range of applications. However, to date, such games have been constrained to use utility functions that are linear sums with respect to resources. To remove this restriction, this paper provides a significant generalisation...
