Abstract

This article aims to improve the practice feasibility of game theory for logistics demand enterprises and the third party logistics enterprises in a principal-agent game. Firstly, some parameters are introduced to the game. Especially the complaint rate is used to depict the degree of positive work or negative work. Secondly, strategies are digitalized. Lastly, Monte Carlo (MC) simulation is adopted to randomize the players' strategies according to the probability distribution of a mixed Nash equilibrium. The mixed equilibrium distribution of the logistics game is ((0.3333, 0.6667), (0.4097, 0.5903)). Theoretically, the logistics demand enterprises (D) expect to select supervision and indulgence as the probability 0.3333 and 0.6667 respectively. And the third party logistics enterprises (S) expect to select positive effort and negative effort as the probability 0.4097 and 0.5903 respectively. The simulation results show that the randomizing coincides with the probability distribution of the Nash equilibrium above 97.18%.
