In The Strategy of Conflict, Thomas Schelling writes:
If I say, “Row, or I’ll tip the boat over and drown us both,” you’ll say you don’t believe me. But if I rock the boat so that it may tip over, you’ll be more impressed. If I can’t administer pain short of death for the two of us, a “little bit” of death, in the form of a small probability that the boat will tip over, is a near equivalent. But, to make it work, I must really put the boat in jeopardy; just saying that I may turn us both over is unconvincing.
But not much in this book is formal game theory.
My question: Is there a formal game theory analogue (i.e., something you could write proofs about) for this dynamic?
Maybe I'd be looking for something with a "subgame perfect" equilibrium that includes a threat like this.
