STABILITY ANALYSIS OF MARITIME LOGISTICS ALLIANCE BASED ON BLOCKCHAIN

Lixin Shen, Jinglin Lin, Yanan Wang, Xueqi Qian

Abstract


Maritime logistics plays a vital role in international trade. Maritime logistics alliance improves the efficiency, service quality and competitiveness of maritime logistics through member cooperation and resource sharing. Blockchain can solve the problems of information asymmetry and lack of trust in logistics alliances because of its decentralization, so it is urgent to study the benefit distribution among members of maritime logistics alliances based on blockchain, to realize the operation of maritime logistics alliances based on blockchain platforms. This paper analyzes the change of benefit distribution mode based on the operation of the blockchain platform, constructs a three-way evolutionary game model based on the core influencing factors of the change, and simulates the evolution path of each influencing factor to ensure the transparency and fairness of benefit distribution.
