Abstract

In this work, a microeconomic model describing interactions between a manufacturer, retailer and bank is created and investigated. The manufacturer produces a single product, the retailer buys the good in order to resell it to the third party for a profit, and the bank lends the money. For the first time, a non-cooperative hierarchical game approach will be applied to a three-dimensional model with five bounded controls. The best optimal strategy for each player will be found analytically with the use of the Pontryagin Maximum Principle. A simulation software package is developed to demonstrate the performance of our proposed optimal algorithms.
