Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore the design of equity cooperation mechanism in the sharing logistics service supply chain. This study designs a two-echelon logistics service supply chain composed of an urban joint distribution company and N logistics companies. The urban joint distribution company is jointly established by N logistics companies based on specific shares of equity investment. We establish sharing logistics service supply chain models under revenue-sharing or cost-sharing contracts. Revenue-sharing factor or cost-sharing factor is the equity cooperation parameter. When the members of the supply chain choose to cooperate in revenue-sharing or cost-sharing mechanism, not all cooperation scenarios considered in the study can achieve Pareto improvement of the total profit of the supply chain, but at least one situation can achieve Pareto improvement. This study provides feasible solutions for logistics companies to join the sharing logistics service platform and provides a reference for the operation of a joint distribution platform established by logistics companies. New results and managerial insights are derived by the sharing logistics service supply chain with revenue-sharing vs cost-sharing contracts, which enriches the interfaces of the operation of the sharing logistics service supply chain.

Unlike the traditional urban logistics operation model, the urban joint distribution company is jointly established by N logistics companies according to certain proportions of equity investment
Summary
We design a two-echelon omnichannel service supply chain of a joint distribution logistics system composed of an urban joint distribution company and N logistics companies, in which logistics companies only operate the intercity logistics transportation, and the urban distribution service is outsourced to the urban joint distribution company. Xi is the average value of the market demand of logistics company i. In equation (2), the operating cost of the urban joint distribution company includes unit service cost and includes e(ni 1 qi) is nonscale economy costs e(ni 1 qi), the non-scale economic cost, which is where mainly incurred due to the increase in costs caused by management capabilities and user service access [37, 38]. Where Oi(→p , →q ) is the cost of providing logistics service at a level lower than the market price due to excess logistics service capacity and v is the unit residual value of logistics service in equation (4).
