Abstract

A kind of linear-quadratic Stackelberg games with the multilevel hierarchy driven by both Brownian motion and Poisson processes is considered. The Stackelberg equilibrium is presented by linear forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs) with Poisson processes (FBSDEPs) in a closed form. By the continuity method, the unique solvability of FBSDEPs with a multilevel self-similar domination-monotonicity structure is obtained.
