Abstract
By constructing a single-principal multi-agent model involving governments, distributors and infrastructure operators, this paper studies the problem of government “incentive–supervision” for urban terminal joint distribution systems after logistics infrastructure operators are involved. The results show that the government can incent and supervise urban terminal joint distribution systems and improve their output efficiency by selecting participants, stabilizing the operating environment, guiding participants to establish a positive competition–cooperation relationship, encouraging participants to make active innovation, and encouraging enterprises to participate in joint distribution activities through appropriate policies. Incentive–supervision policies should aim at encouraging participants to upgrade their operation competence, minimize cost and maximize efficiency so as to create a favorable operating environment and promote positive competition among agents.
