Abstract
The optimal setting of taxes or subsidies on goods and services can be naturally modelled as a bilinear bilevel program. We analyze this class of hierarchical problems both from the theoretical and algorithmical points of view, devoting special attention to the problem of setting profit-maximizing tolls on a transportation network.
